Communications Triggering
The TDS Oscilloscope can trigger on communication signals (option 2C only).
Table 3–8 lists the available standards, codes, and bit rates. This section
describes how to use Comm triggering — how to select the Source, Code, bit
rate, telecom Standard, Pulse Form, Level or Threshold, and Mode and Holdoff.
NOTE. To function properly, Comm triggers force some oscilloscope modes and
settings to new values. Also, selecting a mask from the MEASURE menu selects
the Comm trigger settings for that mask. However, selecting a Comm trigger
does not select a mask.
