    Abstract: Methods of triggering a test and measurement instrument having a plurality of inputs include the step of generating a trigger signal in response to every occurrence of any one of a plurality of specified trigger events. A first specified trigger event occurs in at least a first one of the inputs and a second specified trigger event occurs in at least a second one of the plurality of inputs. A specified trigger event may include at least one selected input from the plurality of inputs and a selected activity type. Some methods include configuring each of a plurality of event activity detectors to produce a pulse in a logic signal in response to every occurrence of one of the specified trigger events. The plurality of logic signals are combined in a logical OR circuit to generate the trigger signal. Trigger circuits configured according to these methods are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A test and measurement instrument for measuring a current in a device under test, comprising an input configured to receive signals from a magnetic field probe; and one or more processors configured to measure, from a signal from the magnetic field probe, a magnetic field generated by a current-carrying conductor of the device under test based on a known current, determine a calibration factor based on the known current and the magnetic field, and generate a calibrated measurement of an unknown current in the current-carrying conductor using a magnetic field generated by the current-carrying conductor based on the unknown current and the calibration factor.

    Abstract: A system includes a plurality of oscilloscopes, each oscilloscope having an output port and an input port, a cable connecting the output port of an initial oscilloscope of the plurality of oscilloscopes to the input port of a second oscilloscope of the plurality of oscilloscopes, the initial oscilloscope having a processing element to generate a master run clock, the second oscilloscope having a processing element including a phase-locked loop to lock a slave run clock to the master run clock, wherein the processing element of one of the oscilloscopes executes code to cause the processing element to manipulate one of the run clocks to pass trigger information to another of the plurality of oscilloscopes. A method of synchronizing at least two oscilloscopes including a master oscilloscope and at least one slave oscilloscope includes connecting the at least two oscilloscopes together using output ports and input ports of the at least two oscilloscopes and at least one cable; sending a master run clock from the master oscilloscope to at least one slave oscilloscope; synchronizing a run clock of the at least one slave oscilloscope to the master run clock; recognizing a trigger event at a first oscilloscope of the at least two oscilloscopes; altering the run clock at the first oscilloscope to encode a trigger indication; and receiving the altered run clock at a second oscilloscope of the at least two oscilloscopes, wherein the trigger indication causes the second oscilloscope to recognize the trigger event.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a signal isolating test instrument, such as an electronics test probe. The instrument includes an input to receive a floating analog signal. An upconverter is employed to modulate the floating analog signal to a microwave frequency analog signal. An isolation barrier in the instrument prevents coupling of the floating analog signal to an earth ground. The instrument employs a microwave structure to transmit the microwave frequency analog signal across the isolation barrier via electromagnetic coupling. A downconverter is then employed to demodulate the microwave frequency analog signal to obtain a ground referenced test signal corresponding to the floating analog signal.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to test and measurement instruments structured to detect that a series of events occurred, and structured to generate a trigger signal in response to detecting that a final event in the series of events occurred. The trigger may be generated based on a timeout signal, or based on another event, trigger, or signal. Stored data in the acquisition memory may be marked relative to the detection of the final event. An external forced timeout signal may control which in a series of events is marked as a final event. The triggering on final event may be enabled after another trigger is satisfied, and may be used as one of many different types of triggers.
