Abstract

See full text

Digital signal acquisition system is triggered when an input waveform matches a known reference waveform. This is achieved by calculating a stream of error metric values defined as a sum of absolute values of differences between incoming and reference samples. An error metric is calculated using only byte operations, which is advantageous for hardware implementation. A waveform trigger is determined by a sample index corresponding to a minimum value of the error metric and corresponds to a best match between input and reference waveforms. A waveform trigger is used for synchronous averaging and estimating time domain noise voltage. A reference waveform updates in poor SNR conditions to provide robust estimates of time domain noise by reducing reference waveform jitter.
