To capture a single event
To capture a single event, you need some previous knowledge of the signal in
order to set up the trigger level and slope. For example, if the event is
derived from TTL logic, a trigger level of 2 volts should work on a rising edge.
The following steps show you how to use the oscilloscope to capture a single
event.
1
Connect a signal to the oscilloscope.

Set up the trigger.
•
Press
Source
. Select a trigger source with the softkeys.
•
Press
Slope/Coupling
. Select a trigger slope with the softkeys.
•
Turn the Level knob to a point where you think the trigger should work.
3
Press
Mode
, then press the
Single
softkey.
4
Press
Erase
to clear previous measurements from the display.
5
Press
Run
.
Pressing
Run
arms the trigger circuit. When the trigger conditions
are met, data appears on the display representing the data points that
the oscilloscope obtained with one acquisition. Pressing the Run key
again rearms the trigger circuit and erases the display.
