Have you ever struggled to get a stable waveform on your scope? This video will show you how to set your triggers to get a stable display of signals from simple sine waves to modulated signals and burst signals. We’ll look at basic edge triggering, briefly talk about trigger coupling, and introduce trigger hold-off to trigger on bursts.
