RIGOL X-Y Format This format is useful for studying phase relationships between two signals. Channel 1 in the horizontal axis(X) and channel 2 in the vertical axis(Y), the oscilloscope uses a none-trigger acquisition mode, data is displayed as dots. Figure 2-38 X-Y display format NOTE: The X-Y display format is only suitable for CH1, CH2, CH3; CH4.In the normal condition, the oscilloscope can acquire waveforms with any sampling rate.
RIGOL To Set up the Trigger System The trigger determines when the oscilloscope starts to acquire data and display a waveform. When a trigger is set up properly, it can convert unstable displays or blank screens into meaningful waveforms. When the oscilloscope starts to acquire a waveform, it collects enough data so that it can draw the waveform to the left of the trigger point. The oscilloscope continues to acquire data while waiting for the trigger condition to occur.
RIGOL Trigger Modes The oscilloscope provides five trigger modes: Edge, Pulse, Video, Pattern and Alternative. Edge: An edge trigger occurs when the trigger input passes through a specified voltage level in the specified slope direction. Pulse: Use this trigger mode to catch pulses with certain pulse width. Video: Use video trigger mode on fields or lines for standard video signals. Pattern: Recognising trigger by searching specified code. Alternative: Trigger on non-synchronized signals.
RIGOL Edge Trigger An edge trigger determines whether the oscilloscope finds the trigger point on the rising or the falling edge of a signal. Select Edge trigger Mode to trigger on Rising edge, falling edge or rising & falling edge.

RIGOL Trigger Holdoff You can use trigger Holdoff to stabilize a complex waveform, such as a pulse sequence. Holdoff time is the oscilloscope‟s waiting period before starting a new trigger. During Holdoff, oscilloscope will not trigger until Holdoff ends. For instance: To trigger on the first pulse on a group of them, users can set the holdoff time to Pulse cluster width. Trigger site Trigger holdoff Time of holdoff Figure 2-59 Trigger Holdoff To use trigger Holdoff: 1.
RIGOL Trigger Key points 1. Trigger Source: Trigger occurs from several sources: Input channels (CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4), AC Line, Ext, Ext/5. CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4: It is the most commonly used trigger source. The channel works when it is selected as a trigger source whatever displayed. Ext Trig: The instrument can be triggered from an external source while acquiring data from CH1, CH2, CH3, and CH4. For example, be a trigger source with an external clock or a signal from another part of the test circuit.
RIGOL setting), it will force itself to trigger. When forcing invalid triggers, the oscilloscope cannot synchronize the waveform, and the waveform seems to roll across the display. If valid triggers occur, the display becomes stable on the screen. Any factor results in the instability of waveforms can be detected by Auto Trigger, such as the output of Power supply. NOTE: When horizontal control is set under 50 ms/div, Auto mode allows the oscilloscope not to capture trigger signal.
RIGOL surveyed. More data (14div) of pre-trigger and 1s delayed trigger can be surveyed by adjusting the horizontal knob. This feature is very useful to study the events that led up to the trigger point. Everything on the right of the trigger point is called post-trigger information. The delay range (pre-trigger and post-trigger information) depends on the sweep speed selected. 3.
