Query Syntax

:TRIGger:QUALify:MODE?

Description

When qualified triggers are enabled (see :TRIGger:QUALify:STATe), this command selects the type of qualified trigger to use.

MEASurement
With measurement qualified triggers, the oscilloscope's hardware trigger is used to make a waveform acquisition, and the measurement is performed across the acquisition. If one of the measured values meets the specified conditions (inside or outside specified limits), the measurement qualified trigger condition is true (the event occurs), and the waveform is displayed. If none of the measured values meet the specified conditions, the acquisition is discarded and not displayed.
With measurement qualified triggers, measurement results and statistics are collected on displayed waveforms only.
Use the :TRIGger:QUALify:MEASure commands to set up measurement qualified triggers.
ZONE
You can set up rectangular areas (zones) to further qualify the capture of a waveform. You can use up to eight zones to qualify a waveform and can use logical expressions to relate the zones across channels.
Use the :TRIGger:QUALify:ZONE commands to set up zone qualified triggers.
PROTocol
With protocol qualified triggers, the oscilloscope's hardware trigger is used to make a waveform acquisition, and protocol decode is performed on the acquisition. If the decoded value(s) match the specified value(s), the protocol qualified trigger condition is true (the event occurs), and the waveform is displayed. If none of the decoded values meet the specified conditions, the acquisition is discarded and not displayed.
Use the :TRIGger:QUALify:PROTocol commands to set up protocol qualified triggers.
