5 To Trigger the Oscilloscope

5 To Trigger the Oscilloscope
For trigger, you set certain trigger condition according to the requirement and when
a waveform in the waveform stream meets this condition, the oscilloscope captures
this waveform as well as the neighbouring part and displays them on the screen.
When the oscilloscope is working, it continuously acquires waveform data even if a
valid trigger does not occur. However, only when valid triggers occur, can the display
become stable. The trigger circuit guarantees that each sweep or sample starts when
the input signal meets the user-defined trigger condition, namely each sweep and
sample are synchronous and the waveforms acquired overlap to display stable
waveform.
Trigger setting should be based on the features of the input signal, thus you need to
have some knowledge of the signal under test to quickly capture the desired
waveform. This oscilloscope provides abundant advanced trigger functions which
help you to focus on the waveform details of interest.
