Performance characteristics
(continued)
Trigger system (continued)
Selections Edge, pulse width, pattern, TV, duration
Edge Trigger on a rising, falling, or alternating edge of any source
Pulse width Trigger when a positive- or negative-going pulse is less than, greater than, or within a specified range
on any of the source channels.
Minimum pulse width setting:
5 ns (DSO501xA)
2 ns (DSO503xA, DSO505xA)
Maximum pulse width setting: 10 s
Pattern Trigger at the beginning of a pattern of high, low, and don't care levels and/or a rising or falling edge
established across any of the channels, but only after a pattern has been established for a minimum of
2 nsec. The channel’s high or low level is defined by that channel’s trigger level.
Sequence Arm on Event A, trigger on Event B(edge or pattern), with option to reset on Event C or time delay
TV Trigger using any oscilloscope channel on most analog progressive and interlaced video standards
including HDTV/EDTV, NTSC, PAL, PAL-M or SECAM broadcast standards. Select either positive or
negative sync pulse polarity. Modes supported include Field 1, Field 2, all fields, all lines, or any line
within a field. TV trigger sensitivity: 0.5 division of sync signal. Trigger holdoff time can be adjusted in
half field increments.
Duration Trigger on a multi-channel pattern whose time duration is less than a value, greater than a value,
greater than a time value with a timeout, or inside or outside of a set of time values.
Minimum duration setting: 2 ns
Maximum duration setting: 10 s
CAN Trigger on CAN (Controller Area Network) version 2.0A and 2.0B signals. Trigger on the start of frame
(SOF) bit (standard). N5424A option supports triggering on remote frame ID (RTR), data frame ID
(~RTR), remote or data frame ID, data frame ID and data, error frame, all errors, acknowledge error and
overload frame.
FlexRay Trigger on FlexRay Frames, errors, events and cycle-multiplexed triggering. N5432C or option
FLX supports also triggering on particular frame types symbolically, such as Startup frames, Null frame,
Sync frame, etc., as well as Boolean NOT frame types.
LIN Trigger on LIN (Local Interconnect Network) sync break at beginning of message frame (standard).
N5424A option supports triggering on frame ID.
I 2 C Trigger on I 2 C (Inter-IC bus) serial protocol at a start/stop condition or user defined frame with address
and/or data values. Also trigger on missing acknowledge, address with no acq, restart, EEPROM read,
and 10‑bit write.
SPI Trigger on SPI (Serial Protocol Interface) data pattern during a specific framing period. Supports positive
and negative Chip Select framing as well as clock Idle framing and user-specified number of bits per
frame.
RS-232/UART View the information sent over a RS-232 serial bus. Display real-time time-aligned decode of transmit
and receive lines. The application also enables triggering on RS-232/UART conditions.
MIL‑STD 1553 Trigger on specific Command/Status Words, Data Words, and error conditions.
AutoScale Finds and displays all active channels, sets edge trigger mode on highest-numbered channel, sets
vertical sensitivity on channels, time base to display ~1.8 periods. Requires minimum voltage >
10 mVpp, 0.5% duty cycle and minimum frequency > 50 Hz.
