DigiView™ Hardware Triggers

Hardware Triggers

With just a few mouse clicks in our DigiView software, you can define multiple trigger conditions (from simple to complex) . The graphical schematic of trigger logic is translated to actual hardware logic in the DigiView Hardware.

DigiView's trigger configuration screen centers the user's focus on function; making it much easier to quickly analyze and modify a very complex trigger condition.

Graphical Trigger example



When the hardware detects the defined condition, it will trigger the logic analyzer to continue filling its internal buffer with post-trigger data. When the sample buffer fills (or you manually STOP it), the data is transferred to the PC. The software on the PC then displays the data in various formats as determined by the defined signal type.
(see: Signal Types)

In DigiView's software, triggers are specified in terms of SIGNALS. After assigning channels to signal names, you can configure the trigger condition based on the defined signals.

Most engineers will find it easier to reference the condition as it relates to the circuit's function rather than remembering which channels of the analyzer were used to connect to specific signals in the circuit.

DigiView's trigger configuration screen centers the user's focus on function; making it much easier to quickly analyze and modify a very complex trigger condition. The graphic above is an example of an advanced trigger condition for the DV3100 and DV3400. (see: Trigger Schematic )

The trigger point is centered on the screen and is always TIME 0. All data prior to the trigger is negative time and all data after the trigger is positive time. If you stop the analyzer before a trigger condition is detected, the approximate center of the collected sample buffer is considered the trigger and the end of the data is the point where the hardware sampling was manually stopped.
