UNIQUE

SMART Triggers®

The Waverunner-2 scope’s trigger bar is simple
to operate. Run the scope in normal or auto
trigger modes, or capture one-time events
into scope memory as large as 8 Mpts with a
single-shot trigger. Triggering with
Waverunner-2 is direct, easy to read
and easy to understand.

SMART Trigger provides the flexibility needed
to quickly trigger on the specific signal
characteristic or pattern you are searching for.
All

Waverunner-2 oscilloscopes include SMART
Triggers. Trigger not only on what you expect
but also on unusual signals. Exclusion triggers
can exclude normal signals and capture only
the abnormal ones, speeding up the debug of
your circuits and systems. Trigger on signals
down to 2 ns in width. The optional Advanced
Trigger Package (ATP) extends

Waverunner-2’s
SMART Trigger capability by adding runt and
slew rate trigger for the capture of intermittent
events.

Use HISTORY Views to Find
Intermittents

Pressing the green Analog Persist button and
selecting History converts the scope into a fast
Analog Persistence fault-finder.The lifetime of
your signal is written into the History memory
and mapped on screen.You can measure each
signal, see its trigger time, and identify rare
events. Up to 4,000 events can be acquired for
playback.This is great
when you have inter­mittent problems and
want to know if they
occur at a rate related
to other circuit or sys­tem timing events.

Press “play” to replay
the signal history and
automatically scan
and search from
sweep to sweep.
Stop when you see
something of interest. The display shows the
Analog Persistence view of all acquired sweeps
as well as the individual sweep under inspec­tion. Since the time of each trigger event is dis­played with a resolution of 1 ns, you can easily
determine the rate of occurrence.

Packages

MT series Mask Testing
options for electrical
communications signals are available with
Waverunner-2 scopes. Mask Testing compares a
trace against a mask template to check if it falls
inside or outside the mask boundaries. Several
actions may be initiated if the trace fails the
test, including “stop”, “output a pulse”, and

“datalog”.

With the exclusive Finder Function, pulses,pat­terns or even random bit streams are easily iso­lated. MT packages take
control of the Waverunner
scope, displaying only rele­vant test menus.

PolyMask

PolyMask is a powerful,
general-purpose testing

Basic Triggers

Edge/Slope/Window/Line Triggers when signal meets slope and level condition

SMART Triggers

State or Edge Qualified Triggers on any input source only if a defined state or edge occurred on another input source. Delay between sources is selectable

by time or events.
Dropout Triggers if signal drops out for longer than selected time between 25 ns and 20 s.
Pattern Logic combination of 5 inputs ( 3 on two-channel models ); Each source can be high, low, or don’t care. Trigger entering or exiting

the pattern
TV-Video Triggers selectable fields ( 1, 2, 4, or 8 ) for NTSC, PAL SECAM, or nonstandard video ( up to 1500 lines )

SMART Triggers with Exclusion Technology

Signal or Pattern Width Triggers on glitches or on pulse widths selectable from <2.5 ns to 20 s or on intermittent faults.
Signal or Pattern Interval Triggers on intervals selectable between 10 ns and 20 s.
Slew Rate* Trigger on edge rates; select limits for dV, dt, and slope. Select edge limits between 2.5 ns and 20 s.
Runt* Positive or negative runts defined by two voltage limits and two time limits. Select between 2.5 ns and 20 ns.
