(10) Calculate the amplifier gain with the following formulas.
Gain = Output Signal / Input signal
Gain (db) = 20×log (gain)

Example 3: Capturing a Single Signal
It's quite easy to use Digital Oscilloscope to capture non-periodic signal, such
as a pulse and burr etc. But the common problem is how to set up a trigger if
you have no knowledge of the signal? For example, if the pulse is the logic
signal of a TTL level, the trigger level should be set to 2 volts and the trigger
edge be set as the rising edge trigger. With various functions supported by our
Oscilloscope, user can solve this problem by taking an easy approach. First to
run your test using auto trigger to find out the closest trigger level and trigger
type, this helps user to make few small adjustments to achieve a proper trigger
level and mode. Here is how we achieve this.
The operation steps are as follows:
(1) Set the probe menu attenuation coefficient to 10X and that of the switch in
the probe to 10X (see "
(2) How to Set the Probe Attenuation Coefficient" on P101).
(3) Adjust the VOLTS/DIV and SEC/DIV knobs to set up a proper vertical and
horizontal ranges for the signal to be observed.
(4) Press the TRIGGER Menu button.
(5) Select Trig Mode in the bottom menu; select Edge in the left menu.
(6) Select Source in the bottom menu; select ① in the left menu.
(7) Select Coupling in the bottom menu; select DC in the right menu.
(8) Select Slope in the bottom menu; switch it to Rising.
