UTD1000L User Manual Term Explanation 1 . Trigger Source : Input channel is used as the trigger source ■ Input Channel: Input channel (CHI) is the most commonly used trigger source. For the channel selected as the trigger source, it should be switched on before it works normally. 2 . Trigger Mode: decide what the oscilloscope will do when no trigger event occurs. Three trigger modes are offered: Auto, Normal and Single .
UTD1000L User Manual 4 . Pretrigger/Delay Trigger : Capture data before /after the trigger event . The trigger is usually located at the horizontal center point on the screen, for example, you can observe 6div pretriger and delay information , adjusting the waveform horizontally can let you view on more pretrigger information . Pretrigger can indicate what the waveform is like before the trigger event.
UTD1000L User Manual Term Explanation Normal Mode: The Oscilloscope samples the signals at equal time interval to create the waveform on the display. Peak Detect: Under this mode, the Oscilloscope uses Max. and Min. values detected in each sampling interval to form waveform on the display. It is suitable to capture and display narrow pulse which may probably be neglected if using Normal mode. However the noise under Peak Detect sounds louder.
