The displayed waveforms will be more susceptible to aliasing when this function is disabled.

  • Page 91: To Trigger The Oscilloscope

    RIGOL 5 To Trigger the Oscilloscope When working, the oscilloscope 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 from the position of the trigger event in the input signal, namely each sweep and sample are synchronous and the waveforms acquired overlap to display stable waveform.

  • Page 92: Trigger Source

    RIGOL Trigger Source Press MENU  Source in the trigger control area (TRIGGER) at the front panel to select the desired trigger source. Signals input from the analog channels CH1-CH4 and the [EXT TRIG] connector as well as the AC Line can all be used as the trigger source.

  • Page 93: Trigger Mode

    RIGOL Trigger Mode Trigger mode would influence the mode in which the oscilloscope searches for trigger event. The following is the schematic diagram of the acquisition memory from which you can see that the position of the trigger event is determined by the reference time point and the delay setting.
  • Page 94 RIGOL Auto: No matter whether the trigger condition is met, there is always waveform display. A horizontal line is displayed when no signal is input. When this mode is selected, the oscilloscope fills the pre-trigger buffer first and then search for a trigger while at the same time continues filling data. When the oscilloscope is searching for trigger, the data firstly filled into the pre-trigger buffer will overflow and be pushed out of the FIFO queue.

  • Page 95: Trigger Coupling

    RIGOL Trigger Coupling Trigger coupling decides which kind of components will be transmitted to the trigger circuit. Note to distinguish it with “Channel Coupling”. DC: allow the DC and AC components to pass the trigger path.  AC: block all the DC components and attenuate signals lower than 8 Hz.

  • Page 96: Trigger Holdoff

    RIGOL Trigger Holdoff Trigger holdoff could trigger complicated waveforms (e.g. pulse sequence) stably. Holdoff time is the time the oscilloscope waits to re-enable the trigger circuit. During the holdoff time, the oscilloscope will not trigger before the end of the holdoff time.
