Capturing a Single-Shot Signal
In this example, the reliability of a reed relay in a piece of equipment has been poor, and you need to investigate the problem.
You suspect that the relay contacts arc when the relay opens. The fastest you can open and close the relay is about once per
minute, so you need to capture the voltage across the relay as a single-shot acquisition.
To set up for a single-shot acquisition:
1.
Adjust the
Vertical Scale
and
Horizontal Scale
to appropriate ranges for the signal you expect to see.
