HP 54600A - Single Event Capture

Operating Your Oscilloscope
To capture a slagle eveat
To capture a single event
To capture a single event, you need some previous knowledge of the
signal in order to set up the trigger level and slope. For example,
if the
event is derived from
TTL logic, a trigger level of 2 volts should work on
a rising edge. The following steps show you how to use the oscilloscope
to capture a single event.
1 Connect a signal to the oscilloscope.
2 Set up the trigger.
• Press I source 1. Select a trigger source with the softkeys.
• Press I slope/coupling 1. Select a trigger slope with the
softkeys.
• Turn the Level knob to a point where you think the trigger should
work.
3 Press I Mode 1, then press the single softkey.
4 Press I Erase I to clear previous measurements from the
display.
5 Press
I Run 1.
Pressing the Run key arms the trigger circuit. When the trigger
conditions are met, data appears on the display representing the data
points that the oscilloscope obtained with one acquisition. Pressing the
Run key
again rearms the trigger circuit and erases the display.
