Flexible trigger options

A trigger may be set to occur on a rising edge, falling edge, or change of state on any channel. It may also be set for a level (pattern) condition by specifying a "1", "0" or "X" (don't care) condition on all channels. Combinations such as Edge OR Pattern, Edge AND Pattern, Edge THEN Pattern, Pattern THEN Edge, etc, may be set. A pattern duration may be specified. Triggering may then be set to occur should the pattern be shorter (glitch capture) or longer than the set duration.

During unconditionally continuous capture the screen updates at regular intervals. Continuous capture may be combined with a trigger condition. In this case the screen will update only when the condition is met. This is very useful for viewing continuously changing data, which cannot be viewed with simple regular screen updates: e.g. data on a serial line. By setting a condition you can view continuous screen updates, with the data nicely placed in the middle of the screen, where you can watch the data bits flipping.
