Let’s measure
Look closely at the signal now (left), do you see the diff erence with the previous screenshot of our signal (right)?
Single:
Sometimes, you would like to ‘capture’ a certain event, instead of continuously
looking at a signal. This can be done by choosing ‘Single’ instead of ‘Run’
as the Run mode. The scope will start drawing the trace when the trigger
level and slope are reached and when it reaches the right hand side of the
screen, it will stop drawing and switch to ‘HOLD’-mode. Press the ‘HOLD’-
button again to ‘re-arm’ the trigger and wait for the next event to happen.
Try the following experiment:
• Disconnect the red alligator clip from the ‘test’-pin.
• Turn the scope off and on again, so that all setting are set to default.
• Select following items from the menu: 0.1V/div, 0.1ms/div and Adjust Trg Level.
Next, leave the menu and set the trigger level as shown below:
Enter the menu and select ‘Single’ as the trigger mode.
