Glitch Triggers
 
The Glitch Detectors tab is displayed only when Glitch Timing mode is active.
 
A "glitch" occurs when a signal transitions two or more times during one logic analyzer sample. For example, the logic analyzer provides 2 ns resolution when sampling at 500 MHz. A glitch is marked in the trace data any time a channel transitions two or more times period between each 2 ns sample. Glitch marks are displayed in the WaveForm view as a vertical line on the timing diagrams.
 
Each channel can be configured to ignore glitches or trigger when a glitch occurs...
 
 
All connected channels are stored in each trace sample. Channels with disabled glitch triggers are still stored in the sample. The glitch triggers only affect which channels can cause a trigger event.
 
Channels which are not used in at least one channel group are assumed to be unconnected. These unconnected channels are ignored at run-time, cannot trigger the logic analyzer, and cannot detect glitches. This avoids unwanted noise or triggers caused by unconnected channels.
 
When any channel detects a glitch event, the logic analyzer triggers and stops running.
 
The Custom TriggerForm levels are also used to define the Glitch triggers. The Custom TriggerForm topic describes how glitch triggers are used in the TriggerForm levels.
