Logic state synchronization

The trigger is made in case all the signals being passed to the logic inputs of the logical function chosen cause the change of this function state for “true” or “false” when the clock input state is changed or stable (level timing).
This mode differs from the pattern triggering by the code combination which is determined by two inputs maximum (not by three inputs like in the previous mode) and the triggering is made simultaneously with the clock system pulse coming to the sync input of the oscilloscope.

For oscilloscope logical synchronization there can be two ordinary scope input channels used as well as the external synchronization channel additionally. Such three-channel design allows, besides usual logical functions "AND", "OR", "Exclusive OR", setting such a rarely implemented function like majoritar: function result is considered true when the state at least on two input channels is "True".

"A-B sweep" - a powerful tool for complex systems debugging developers since it allows analyzing and selecting almost any element of long consecutive digital codes blocks.

A user can use combined triggering modes of A-B type. It’s possible to create a consistent combined event out of two different triggering events and to start making the sweep triggering when the second event is achieved.

Therefore first of all it’s necessary to set up the conditions needed for A event which will start the sequence and afterwards - for B event which will be the final synchronization signal.

Additionally it’s possible to specify the horizontal delay that should elapse between the events or the number of B events which should happen before sweep triggering.
