To trigger the oscilloscope
The following exercise guides you through the trigger keys, knobs, and
status line.
1 Turn the trigger Level knob and notice the changes it makes to
the display.
On the HP 54601A and on an internally triggered HP 54600A, as you
turn the Level knob or press a trigger menu key, for a short time two
things happen on the display. First, the trigger level is displayed in
inverse video.
If the trigger is de coupled, it is displayed as a voltage. If
the trigger is ac coupled or if LF reject was selected, it is displayed as a
percentage of the trigger range. Second, if the trigger source is turned
on, a line
is displayed showing the location of the trigger level (as long
as ac coupling or low frequency reject are not selected).
2 Change the trigger setup and notice that each change affects
the status line differently.
• Press I source I .
A softkey menu appears on the display showing the trigger source
choices.
• Toggle each of the softkeys and notice that each key causes the status
line to change.
