TRIGGERING
Triggering gives a stable display and lets you zero in on specific parts of
complex waveforms.
Determine what you need
 All oscilloscopes provide edge triggering, and most offer pulse width triggering.
 To acquire anomalies and make best use of the scope’s record length, look for a
scope that offers advanced triggering on more challenging signals.
 The wider the range of trigger options available the more versatile the scope (and the
faster you get to the root cause of a problem!):
- Digital/pulse triggers: pulse width, runt pulse, rise/fall time, setup-and-hold
- Logic triggering
- Serial data triggers: embedded system designs use both serial (I2C, SPI,CAN/
LIN…) and parallel buses.
- Video triggering
Triggering synchronizes the horizontal sweep at the correct point in the signal, rather than
just starting the next trace at the point where the present trace happens to finish. A single
trigger acquires all input channels simultaneously
