Serial trigger allows a serial trigger condition to be set from
within the oscilloscope, using an easy-to-understand interface.
NOTE: Teledyne LeCroy offers a wide range of optional serial
data triggering capabilities for serial data standards like I2C, SPI,
UART, CAN and LIN.
SMART Triggers
SMART Triggers are defined as follows:
Glitch
Glitch trigger is a simpler form of Width trigger. Use Glitch
trigger when you want to define a fixed pulse-width time or
time range only. Glitch trigger makes no provision for
voltage levels or ranges.
Interval
While Glitch trigger performs over the width of a pulse,
Interval trigger performs over the width of an interval: the
signal duration (the period) separating two consecutive
edges of the same polarity (positive to positive or negative
to negative). Use interval trigger to capture intervals that
fall short of, or exceed, a given time limit. In addition, you
can define a width range to capture any interval that is
itself inside or outside the specified range, i.e. it can be
used as an Exclusion trigger by interval.
Dropout
Used primarily in single-shot applications, and usually with
a pre-trigger delay, Dropout trigger can detect lost signals.
The trigger is generated at the end of the timeout period
following the last trigger source transition. You can select a
timeout period from 2 ns to 20 s.
Runt
The runt trigger is programmed to occur when a pulse
crosses a first threshold line and fails to cross a second
threshold line before recrossing the first. You can select
both voltage thresholds within a time range of 100 ps to 20
s. Other defining conditions for this trigger are the edge
(triggers on the slope opposite to that selected) and runt
width.
