Each oscilloscope channel can be used as trigger source. To use an oscilloscope channel as trigger input, enable it using tiepie_hw_oscilloscope_channel_trigger_set_enabled.
To control how and when the channel trigger responds to the channel input signal, several properties are available:
The kind property is used to control how the channel trigger responds to the channel input signal. The other properties depend on the trigger kind that is selected. Use tiepie_hw_oscilloscope_channel_trigger_get_kinds() to find out which trigger kinds are supported by the channel. Available kinds are:
The channel trigger responds to a rising edge in the input signal. The trigger uses Level[0] and Hysteresis[0] below the level to determine the rising edge.
The channel trigger responds to a falling edge in the input signal. The trigger uses Level[0] and Hysteresis[0] above the level to determine the falling edge.
The channel trigger responds to any edge, either rising or falling, in the input signal. The trigger uses Level[0], Hysteresis[0] above the level and Hysteresis[1] below level to determine the edges.
The channel trigger responds when the input signal is inside a predefined window. The trigger uses Level[0] and Level[1] to determine the window, there is no restriction to which level must be high and which must be low. The trigger remains active as long as the signal is inside the window.
The channel trigger responds when the input signal is outside a predefined window. The trigger uses Level[0] and Level[1] to determine the window, there is no restriction to which level must be high and which must be low. The trigger remains active as long as the signal is outside the window.
The channel trigger responds when the input signal enters a predefined window. The trigger uses Level[0] and Hysteresis[0] to define one limit of the window and Level[1] and Hysteresis[1] to determine the other limit of the window, there is no restriction to which level must be high and which must be low. The hysteresis is outside the window defined by the levels.
The channel trigger responds when the input signal exits a predefined window. The trigger uses Level[0] and Hysteresis[0] to define one limit of the window and Level[1] and Hysteresis[1] to determine the other limit of the window, there is no restriction to which level must be high and which must be low. The hysteresis is inside the window defined by the levels.
The channel trigger responds when the input signal contains a positive pulse with a length longer or shorter than a predefined value. The trigger uses Level[0] and Hysteresis[0] to determine the rising and falling edges of the pulse. It also uses Time[0] to define the required length of the pulse and Condition to indicate whether the pulse must be longer or shorter than the defined time.
The channel trigger responds when the input signal contains a negative pulse with a length longer or shorter than a predefined value. The trigger uses Level[0] and Hysteresis[0] to determine the falling and rising edges of the pulse. It also uses Time[0] to define the required length of the pulse and Condition to indicate whether the pulse must be longer or shorter than the defined time.

Most trigger kinds use one or more level properties to indicate at which level(s) of the input signal the channel trigger must respond. Use tiepie_hw_oscilloscope_channel_trigger_get_level_count() to find out how many trigger levels are used by the currently set trigger kind.
The trigger level is set as a floating point value between 0 and 1, corresponding to a percentage of the full scale input range:

Most trigger kinds use one or more hysteresis properties to indicate the sensitivity of the channel trigger. With a small hysteresis, the trigger system responds to small input signal changes, with a large hysteresis, the input signal change must be large for the channel trigger to respond. Use tiepie_hw_oscilloscope_channel_trigger_get_hysteresis_count() to determine the number of trigger hystereses for the currently set trigger kind.
The trigger hysteresis is set as a floating point value between 0 and 1, corresponding to a percentage of the full scale input range:

Some trigger kinds require an additional condition to indicate how the channel trigger must respond to the input signal.
The available trigger conditions depend on the currently set trigger kind. Use tiepie_hw_oscilloscope_channel_trigger_get_conditions() to determine the available trigger conditions for the currently selected trigger kind. Available conditions are:
This trigger condition is available with pulse width trigger and uses property Time[0]. The trigger system responds when a trigger pulse lasts longer than the selected time.
This trigger condition is available with pulse width trigger and uses property Time[0]. The trigger system responds when a trigger pulse lasts shorter than the selected time.
This trigger condition is available with pulse width trigger and uses property Time[0] and Time[1]. The trigger system responds when a trigger pulse width is inside the specified time frame.
This trigger condition is available with pulse width trigger and uses property Time[0] and Time[1]. The trigger system responds when a trigger pulse width is outside the specified time frame.
Read more about the trigger condition related functions.
Some trigger kinds and conditions use one or more Time properties to determine how long a specific condition must last for the channel trigger to respond. Use tiepie_hw_oscilloscope_channel_trigger_get_time_count() to determine the number of trigger time properties for the currently set trigger kind and condition.
The Time property is set as a value in seconds.
