Pulse Trigger

Trigger on the positive or negative pulse with a specified width. In this mode, the

oscilloscope will trigger when the pulse width of the input signal satisfies the

specified pulse width condition.

Trigger Type:

Press Type, rotate to select “Pulse” and press down . At this point, the trigger

setting information is displayed at the upper right corner of the screen.

For example,

. The trigger type is pulse trigger; the trigger source

is CH1; the trigger level is 168 mV.

details, please refer to the introduction in “

Trigger Source”. The current trigger

source is displayed at the upper right corner of the screen.

Note: Select channel with signal input as trigger source to obtain stable trigger.

Pulse Condition:

In this oscilloscope, positive pulse width is defined as the time difference between

the two crossing points of the trigger level and positive pulse; negative pulse width is

defined as the time difference between the two crossing points of the trigger level

and negative pulse, as shown in the figure below.

Press When to select the desired pulse width condition.

 : trigger when the positive pulse width of the input signal is greater than

the specified pulse width.



: trigger when the positive pulse width of the input signal is lower than the

specified pulse width.
