Trigger source change needs restarting the software

Post by ErDu »

Hi,
it seems that the trigger source menu is not updated when a channel is switched On. It requires a restart of the application to get access to the channel newly switched On.
In the attached screen copy, you can see that the B channel is switched On and it is still grayed in the trigger menu, so you cannot select it as a trigger source.
Best,

Erik

I cannot really help you but I am curious.

Which version of T&M are you using. The reason I ask is that your screen capture shows "Repeat" as an option under Modes. I have not seen that in a long time (maybe never, I cannot remember, hence the question). My version, the latest "Early Access" version 7.1.34, shows "Normal".

Just as an aside, our scopes are different, mine is a 2207B MSO.

Also, I do not have the problem you describe in the above post.

The trigger type Repeat name was changed to Normal in version 7.1.31

If you try changing the trigger type from Repeat back to None, then back to Repeat do you see the option to select Channel B in the trigger menu?
