Configure Operation

Extensions Tab

The Extensions tab for the Configure operation contains the following options:

• TV Trigger —Supports extensions for oscilloscopes that can trigger on TV signals.
• Runt Trigger —Supports extensions for oscilloscopes that can trigger on runt pulses. A runt condition occurs when the oscilloscope detects a positive or negative pulse that crosses one voltage threshold but fails to cross a second threshold before recrossing the first. You can select whether a positive runt, negative runt, or either runt type triggers the acquisition.
• Glitch Trigger —Supports extensions for oscilloscopes that can trigger on glitch pulses. A glitch occurs when the oscilloscope detects a pulse width less than or greater than a specified glitch duration. You can select a positive glitch, negative glitch, or either glitch to trigger the acquisition.
• Width Trigger —Supports extensions for oscilloscopes that can trigger on user-specified pulse widths. Width triggering occurs when the oscilloscope detects a positive or negative pulse with a width between, or optionally outside, the user-specified threshold.
• AC Line Trigger —Supports extensions for oscilloscopes that can synchronize the trigger with the AC Line. AC Line triggering occurs when the oscilloscope detects a positive zero crossing, negative zero crossing, or either positive or negative zero crossing on the network supply voltage.
• Trigger Modifier —Supports extensions for oscilloscopes that can specify the behavior of the triggering subsystem in the absence of the configured trigger.
• Waveform Measurement —Supports extensions for oscilloscopes that can calculate various measurements—such as rise time, fall time, period, and frequency—from an acquired waveform.
• Min Max Waveform —Supports extensions for oscilloscopes that can acquire minimum and maximum waveforms that correspond to the same range of time. The two most common acquisition types in which oscilloscopes return minimum and maximum waveforms are envelope and peak detect.
• Average Acquisition —Supports extensions for oscilloscopes that can perform the average acquisition.
• Interpolation —Supports extensions for oscilloscopes that can interpolate values in the waveform record the oscilloscope acquisition subsystem was unable to digitize.
• Probe Auto Sense —Supports extensions for oscilloscopes that can return the probe attenuation of the attached probe.
• Sample Mode —Supports extensions for oscilloscopes that can return whether the scope is using equivalent-time or real-time sampling to acquire waveform.
• Auto Setup —Supports extensions for oscilloscopes that can perform an automatic setup operation.
• Continuous Acquisition —Supports extensions for oscilloscopes that can perform a continuous acquisition.
