This 
exercise 
sets up the 
oscilloscope 
and 
a signal 
generator 
to 
view 
some
of the features 
of the edge 
triger. 
Holdoff is used 
to 
gain 
a 
stable 
trigger.
This 
technique is not necessary 
for most 
applications 
and waveformg
however, 
for many non-recurring 
and 
irregular waveforms it is 
useful.
Follow 
the instructions for 
seuiqg 
up the sig[al 
generator. 
The signal for
this 
exercise is 
a 
burst 
pattern 
with 
two 
positive 
cycles 
that repeats every
5ps. 
Use an HP 8116A 
Pulse/Function Generator 
with 
the burst option
or 
a signal 
generator 
capable 
of 
the same siglal.
Make 
the 
following 
setting:
o 
MODE: I.BUR
o 
RPT: 
5.00ps
o 
BUR:2
o  FRQ: 
lMHz
o 
D"f\[: 
fiVo
o 
AMP: 1V
o 
OFS: 
-200 
mV
o 
Set the 
sigpal 
for 
a square 
wave.
