Trigger modes
Press repeatedly to select the trigger mode, which affects the way the
oscilloscope searches for the trigger.
– Normal – displays a waveform when the trigger conditions are met, otherwise
the oscilloscope does not trigger and the display is not updated. “Trig’d” is
shown on the status line when this trigger mode is set and a trigger is found.
“Trig’d (blinking)” is shown when a trigger has not been found.
– Auto – displays a waveform when the trigger conditions are met. If the trigger
conditions are not met, it forces the oscilloscope to trigger anyway. “Auto” is
shown on the status line when this trigger mode is set and a trigger is found.
“Auto (blinking)” is shown when a trigger has not been found.
– Single – displays single-shot events without subsequent waveform data
overwriting the display. When the oscilloscope triggers, the single acquisition
is displayed and the oscilloscope is stopped (“Stop” is shown on the status
line). Press again to acquire another waveform.
