Understanding Oscilloscope Edge Trigger The trigger determines when the oscilloscope starts to acquire data and display a wave- form. When a trigger is set up properly, it can convert unstable displays or blank screens into meaningful waveforms. If the oscilloscope wants to acquire a waveform, it collects enough data so that it can draw the waveform to the left of the trigger point.

Application Example 4.1 Simple Measurement To acquire and display a signal, please do the steps as follows: 1. Connect signal to CH1 by using probe. 2. Adjust the vertical and horizontal controls to meet your measurement to optimize the waveform display. To measure the Frequency and “Vpp”, you can do these steps as follows: 1.
Application Example 4.2 Capturing a Single-Shot Signal To capture a single event, it needs to gather some pre-test knowledge of the signal in order to set up the trigger level and slope correctly. For example, if the event is derived from 3.3V COMS logic, a trigger level of 1.2 or higher Volts should work on a rising edge.

Application Example 4. Select X-Y format at Horizontal window. The oscilloscope will displays a Lissajous pattern representing the input and the output characteristics of the circuit. 5. Adjust the scale and offset of the horizontal and vertical to a desirable waveform display.
Application Example between I and III quadrant, . If the main axis is at II and IV quadrant, θ must be in the range of (π/2~π) or (π~3π/2). 4.4 Taking Cursor Measurements Use cursors to make time and amplitude measurements on a waveform quickly. Measure the Peak Frequency or Time of the First Sine Waveform Do these steps: 1.
