Set the trigger level to +50 V. The TekScope instrument triggers if
one or more power cycles drop below a 50 V
pk
threshold. You can
set the voltage threshold to any other level that constitutes a power
dropout.
Going Further
Use the other channel to analyze the effect that the missing cycle has
on your equipment:
H Momentary sags in internal power-supply voltages
H Malfunctions in digital circuitry
H Variations in clock frequencies
Channel 1 and channel 2 are always acquired simultaneously so you
can correlate a cause displayed on one channel to the effect
displayed on the other.
