    9. Demonstration Example 1: Measurement a Simple Signal The purpose of this example is to display an unknown signal in the circuit, and measure the frequency and peak-to-peak voltage of the signal. Carry out the following operation steps for the rapid display of this signal: (1) Set the probe menu attenuation coefficient as 10X and that of the switch in the probe switch as 10X (see "How to Set the Probe Attenuation Coefficient"...

    Gain = Output Signal / Input signal Gain (db) = 20×log (gain) Figure 9-2 Waveform of Gain Measurement Example 3: Capturing a Single Signal It's quite easy to use Digital Oscilloscope to capture non-periodic signal, such as a pulse and burr etc. But the common problem is how to set up a trigger if you have no knowledge of the signal? For example, if the pulse is the logic signal of a TTL level, the trigger level should be set to 2 volts and the trigger edge be set as the rising edge trigger.

    (9) Select Coupling in the bottom menu. Select DC in the right menu. (10) In the bottom menu, select Slope as (rising). (11) Turn the Trigger Level knob and adjust the trigger level to the roughly 50% of the signal to be measured. (12) Check the Trigger State Indicator on the top of the screen, if it is not Ready, push down the Run/Stop button and start acquiring, wait for trigger to happen.
