Capturing all 4 channel waveforms when 1st channel goes low in scope

[mnx]

Hi,

I want to capture the entire panel image consisting of 4 channels output of the Agilent 6000 series scope (MSO7054B) when the output of the 1st channel goes low..Also, once this is done, I want to repeat the same process. Any suggestions on how this can be done?

Thanks in advance

mnx,

I'd start by reading the Programming and Syntax Guide so I understood what commands were available.  Next I'd go get the NI driver.

One very important question.  How often do you expect triggers to happen?

I would add to this that you should figure out how to do it manually, also.  Combine that knowledge with what Wayne recommended and you should have a good start!  🙂

I haven't used the Agilent scopes, but I suspect they are similar enough to the Tektronix scopes.  Pretty much every option you can manipulate manually, there will be a command you can send over GPIB/Ethernet/RS-232/USB.  Have you decided on a communication bus?  That would actually be the first step.  Then manually try to figure out the settings you need to get what you desire, and then write a LabVIEW program (using the drivers given earlier) to repeat your manual process.
