Chapter 6 To Make Measurements RIGOL Chapter 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. For digital oscilloscope, it displays waveform continuously no matter whether it is stably triggered, but only stable trigger can ensure stable display.
RIGOL Chapter 6 To Make Measurements Trigger Source Press MENU Source in the trigger control area (TRIGGER) at the front panel to select the desired trigger source. Siganls input from CH1-CH4 and AC can all be used as trigger source. Analog channel input (CH1 to CH4): Signals input from analog channels CH1-CH4 can all be used as the trigger source. No matter whether the input of the channel selected is enabled, the channel can work normally.
RIGOL Chapter 6 To Make Measurements Trigger Mode Trigger mode affects the way in which the oscilloscope searches for the trigger. The following is the schematic diagram of the acquisition memory. As shown in the figure below, the position of the trigger event is determined by the reference time point and the delay setting. Note that the acquisition memory of the oscilloscope is a cyclic buffer and the new data would overwrite the old data until the acquisition finishes.
RIGOL Chapter 6 To Make Measurements through this buffer while it searches for the trigger. While searching for the trigger, the oscilloscope overflows the pre-trigger buffer and the first data put into the buffer is first pushed out (First Input First Out, FIFO). When a trigger is found, the pre-trigger buffer would contain the data acquired just before the trigger. If no trigger is found, the oscilloscope will trigger forcefully.
Chapter 6 To Make Measurements RIGOL Trigger Coupling Trigger coupling decides which kind of components will be transmitted to the trigger circuit. Please distinguish it with “Channel Coupling”. DC: allow DC and AC components into the trigger path. AC: block all the DC components and attenuate signals lower than 75 kHz. LF Reject: block the DC components and reject the low frequency components (lower than 75 kHz). HF Reject: reject the high frequency components (higher than 75 kHz).
RIGOL Chapter 6 To Make Measurements Trigger Holdoff Trigger holdoff can be used to stably trigger the complex waveforms (such as pulse series).
