trigger + the zone trigger
One of the biggest challenges of using an oscilloscope is setting
up an advanced trigger to isolate a signal of interest. While
advanced triggers are powerful features, setting them up can
slow you down. The zone touch trigger provides a turnkey trigger
solution. You simply observe the signal of interest on the display
and draw a zone (box) around it with your finger. What used to
take hours of work can now take just a few seconds. If you want
to move your zones to another location, just drag them over. The
6000 X-Series can be set up to easily trigger on one or two zone
boxes simultaneously with either “must intersect” or “must not
intersect” conditions. Unlike other software-based graphical
trigger solutions, the hardware-based zone triggering maintains
the fast update rate of 160,000 waveforms per second. In other
words, if you can see it, you can trigger on it.
If isolating signal anomalies is challenging, isolating analog signal
phenomenon in relation to specific serial protocol packets is a
doubly difficult task. You can trigger on CAN bus errors if your
oscilloscope has a CAN serial bus trigger and decode option,
but how would you isolate a specific CAN error message from all
others?
Use the hardware-based zone trigger along with serial protocol
triggers. In Figures 13 and 14, we isolated a CAN steering bus
error message.

packet trigger.

errors.
