Force a trigger 14. Push the front-panel ADVANCED button.
15. On the Trigger Setup control window, select the A Event
or B Event tab
16. Click Edge.
17. To force the oscilloscope to immediately acquire one
waveform record, even without a trigger event, click
Force Trigger.
Forcing a trigger is useful when, in normal trigger mode,
the input signal is not supplying a valid trigger. Click
Force Trigger to quickly confirm t hat there is a signal
present for the oscilloscope to acquire. Then determine
how to trigger on t he signal (for example, push LEVEL
to set 50%, check the trigger source setting, and so on).
The oscilloscope acts on Force Trigger even if selected
before the end of pretrigger holdoff. However, the button
has no effect if the acquisition system is stopped.
Single
sequence
triggering
18. To trigger on the next valid trigger event and then stop,
push the front-panel SINGLE button.
19. To leave single sequence mode, push the front-panel
RUN/STOP button.
The exact function of the SINGLE button depends on
the acquisition mode. In Sample, Peak Detect, or Hi Res
acquisition modes, acquisition stops after a single
waveform is acquired. In Average or Envelope modes,
acquisition stops after N waveforms are acquired, where
N is the number of averages or envelopes specified.
Single sequence triggering is not avai lable in Fast
Acquisition mode.
