86100D Standard Trigger Specifications (Option STR)

Instrument:
86100D

These specifications are for Option STR which is the standard, default trigger.

Specifications describe warranted performance. Characteristics provide useful, nonwarranted information about the functions and performance of the instrument. Characteristics are printed in green italics.

Standard Trigger Specifications
Item Description
Module Triggering Not Supported
Maximum Trigger Signal 2 Vpp
Trigger Modes
Internal Trigger Freerun
Freerun trigger mode internally generates an asynchronous trigger that allows viewing the sampled signal amplitude without an external trigger signal but provides no timing information. Freerun is useful in troubleshooting external trigger problems.
External Direct Trigger
(DC coupled)
The sampled input signal timing is recreated by using an externally supplied trigger signal that is synchronous with the sampled signal input.
Limited Bandwidth: DC to 100 MHz. The DC to 100 MHz mode is used to minimize the effect of high frequency signals or noise on a low frequency trigger signal.
Full Bandwidth: DC to 3.2 GHz
External Divided Trigger Not available
Pattern Lock Not available
System Jitter Tested at 2.5 GHz, 200 mVpp
1.5 ps rms + 50 ppm of delay setting
<1.0 ps rms + 5 ppm of delay setting (characteristic)
Trigger Sensitivity Sinusoidal or 200 ps minimum pulse width.
200 mVpp
Trigger Configuration
Triggering Level Adjustment –1V to +1V
Edge Select Positive or negative
Hysteresis Normal or high sensitivity
High Sensitivity Hysteresis mode improves the high frequency trigger sensitivity but is not recommended when using noisy, low frequency signals that may result in false triggers without normal hysteresis enabled.

Footnotes:
1. Gated triggering is only available from the 86100D's legacy GUI as explained in Gated Triggering in the user's guide.
