The video trigger triggers on field 1, field 2, any field, or lines of an NTSC or
PAL standard video signal. It can also trigger on nonstandard video signals
with similar sync signals. You can access video trigger settings through the
video trigger menu, shown in Figure 315.

SelectTrigger Source, Mode, and Holdoff
These main menu selec
tions perform exactly as in the edge trigger menu, because the two triggers
share these parameters. For example, if you set the edge trigger holdoff to
2.3 ms and then switch to the video trigger, its holdoff will also be 2.3 ms.

the part of the video signal on which the oscilloscope will trigger. Use the side
menu to select from these options.

H Press Field 2 to trigger on field 2 of the video signal.
H Press Any Field to trigger on any field of the video signal.

trigger on the positivegoing sync of a signal, simply invert the signal from the
verticalmenu (see page 318).
