  • Graphic actuation of test and measurement triggers
    Patent number: 9784765
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for graphically actuating a trigger in a test and measurement device. The method includes displaying a visual representation of signal properties for one or more time-varying signals. A graphical user input is received, in which a portion of the visual representation is designated. The method further includes configuring a trigger of the test and measurement device in response to the graphical user input, by setting a value for a trigger parameter of the trigger. The set value for the trigger parameters varies with and is dependent upon the particular portion of the visual representation that is designated by the graphical user input. The trigger is then employed in connection with subsequent monitoring of signals within the test and measurement device.
