How to set to triggers on the same channels

Post by Yuval_Kuper »

Hi,
I have a picoscope 2405A and I'm trying to preform two trigger conditions, one rising and one falling, on the same channel.
I've tried to figure out how to do so from the programmers guide, but I'm not quiet sure it can be done.
If so, I would be happy if someone could help me figure out how to do it.

Thank you, Yuval.

Hi Yuval

Are both trigger conditions using the same voltage level?

They could but I prefer if they didn't. Is this the only option?

If you were using the same threshold for both then you can use the setSimpleTrigger with the Rising_Or_Falling condition but if you need the threshold levels to be different for the rising and falling then you will need to use the advanced trigger functions and set up and OR logical trigger using these. These functions are detailed in the programmer's guide https://www.picotech.com/download/manuals/picoscope-2000-series-a-api-programmers-guide.pdf

If you have problems with implementing them if you email into support@picotech.com with your code and a description (potentially including a diagram) of the trigger you are trying to implement.
