To capture glitches or narrow pulses

To capture glitches or narrow pulses
A glitch is a rapid change in the waveform that is usually narrow as compared
to the waveform. This oscilloscope has two modes of operation that you can
use for glitch capture: peak detect and Autostore.
Connect a signal to the oscilloscope and obtain a stable display.

Find the glitch.
2
Use peak detect for narrow pulses or glitches that require sweep speeds
slower than 50 µs/div.
To select peak detect, press
softkey.
Peak detect operates at sweep speeds from 5 s/div to 50 µs/div. When
operating, the initials Pk are displayed in the status line in inverse
video. At sweep speeds faster than 50 µs/div, the Pk initials are
displayed in normal video, which indicates that peak detect is not
operating.
