Set Edge Trigger
The trigger determines when the oscilloscope starts to acquire data and display a wave-
form. When a trigger is set up properly, it can convert unstable displays or blank screens
into meaningful waveforms.
If the oscilloscope wants to acquire a waveform, it collects enough data so that it can
draw the waveform to the left of the trigger point. The oscilloscope continues to acquire
data while waiting for the trigger condition to occur. The oscilloscope continues to ac-
