Description	Test Steps	Steps Resources	Expected Results
Checking Channel's Trigger Function	1. Enable channel DIO0 and DIO1 on Logic analyzer, on the settings menu set sample rate to 50ksps and add a delay ex. -142 samples. On Pattern generator, enable DIO1, set the following parameter: Pattern: clock, Frequency: 100Hz, Phase: 0 degrees and Duty Cycle: 50%. On Digital IO instrument, set DIO0 as output		The interface should look like in the “Step Resources” picture (left side). Additional signals from the pattern generator and Logic analyzer from DIO2 to DIO15 at different frequencies will be better.
Rising edge trigger	2. Set DIO0’s trigger to rising edge configuration, run Digital IO, pattern generator and logic analyzer instrument. Change DIO0’s output from 0 to 1 from the Digital IO’s instrument		The logic analyzer should initiate a capture
Falling edge trigger	3. Set DIO0’s trigger to falling edge configuration and run both pattern generator and logic analyzer. Change DIO0’s output from 1 to 0 from the Digital IO’s instrument		The logic analyzer should initiate a capture
Any edge trigger	4. Set DIO0’s trigger to any edge configuration and run both pattern generator and logic analyzer. Change DIO0’s output either from 1 to 0 or 0 to 1 from the Digital IO’s instrument		The logic analyzer should initiate a capture
Low trigger	5. Set DIO0’s Low configuration and run both pattern generator and logic analyzer. Set DIO0’s output to 0		The logic analyzer should continuously capture the signal
High Trigger	6. Set DIO0’s trigger to high configuration and run both pattern generator and logic analyzer. Set DIO0’s output to 1		The logic analyzer should continuously capture the signal
High Trigger	7. Repeat steps 1 to 6 using DIO1 to DIO15 as triggers in the logic analyzer and Digital IO instrument and the remaining DIO channel as the signal to be captured of using Pattern generator		The results should all be the same

High Trigger	7. Set External 1’s trigger to high trigger configuration, run Digital IO, pattern generator and logic analyzer instrument. Set DIO0’s output to 1 from the Digital IO instrument		The logic analyzer should continuously capture the signals.
Testing Oscilloscope Source External Trigger	8. In Logic analyzer enable External trigger and set Source to Oscilloscope		The logic anayzer should initiate a capture when the Oscilloscope is triggered.
	9. Connect W1 to 1+ and GND to 1- and generate a Sine Waveform with 2V peak-to-peak amplitude and 200Hz frequency. Set the Oscilloscope trigger to normal and Condition to Rising Edge.		The Oscilloscope should be triggered when the two blue Trigger cursors are intersected on the rising edge of the signal.
	10. Run Signal Generator, Oscilloscope and Logic analizer and verify if the Logic analyzer is triggered at the same time with the Oscilloscope.		If you drag the horizontal cursor in the Oscilloscope window above or below the signal, it should be in Waiting state, and Logic analyzer will be Waiting too.
	11. Repeat steps 9-11 for each condition of the trigger available in Oscilloscope		Logic Analyzer and Oscilloscope should capture signals simultaneously and be in Waiting state at the same time.
Testing the Trigger Modes	1. On Pattern Generator, enable DIO2 and then set it to clock pattern 5KHz frequency. On Logic Analyzer, enable DIO0, DIO1, and DIO2. Set DIO0 and DIO1 trigger to both HIGH.
