Keysight Infiniium 9000 Series Oscilloscopes A Using Trigger Holdoff to Synchronize Acquisition/Display on Complex Signals Triggering on simple repetitive signals is easy using standard edge triggering. But if you need to synchronize your oscilloscope’s acquisitions/display on more complex signals, such as an amplitude-modulated signal, you will need to use your oscilloscope’s trigger hold-off capability unless there is an external...
Page 68
This will stop acquisitions and display the last acquisition on screen—the expected AM signal is now displayed on a single acquisition when stopped. Now let’s set up the holdoff trigger value to achieve a stable trigger. Keysight Infiniium 9000 Series Oscilloscope Evaluation Guide...
