Glossary
E-8
Sine wave
The graphic plot of voltage against time of the normal AC
waveform; the most common signal form.
Single-sequence Trigger Mode
A trigger mode in which the instrument acquires one trig-
gered signal, displays it, and then holds it until you press
the RESET button to restart the sequence.
Single-shot
Single-sequence.
Single-sweep
Single-sequence.
Store Mode
A mode in which the instrument is set to the digital storage
mode.
Time Base
The number of seconds per division.
Time-base Mode
The mode required to display a signal, given the time-base
of the instrument, and occasionally also depending on other
factors such as trigger mode, and whether the instrument is
in store mode. Possible time-base modes are Record and
Roll.
Toggle Button
A button that when pressed to let you select between two or
more states.
Trigger
The event that tells the oscilloscope to start acquiring and
displaying a waveform in store mode, or to start the time
base to display a waveform in non-store mode.
Trigger Coupling
See Channel Coupling.
Trigger Level
The level the trigger signal must cross to generate a trigger.
