Lesson 4: Triggering Part 1 - What the heck is triggering?

Oscilloscope triggering is very important in order to view a stable waveform on the oscilloscope’s display. Unfortunately, many engineering students never fully understand what triggering is about. The lesson explains what simple edge triggering is and compares it to synchronized picture-taking.

I was an electronics hobbiest in my teens back in the late 70s. Now as I approach 60 I finally own my first oscilloscope. Thanks for these lessons. I was lost on my new digital scope. This series has taught me very quickly how to use my new tool. Thank you for the tutorial!

FINALLY understanding Trigger Level, thank you for being a great teacher. I figured when I saw the word "heck" in your title I was going to get a 'down-to-earth' explanation, and I did.

I'm just want to say ""THANK YOU""!!!! pass out knowledge and you own time just to teach not just me but others. Like to say more but I feel you already know, Thank you Sir!

I just bought a new DSO1202 from Keysight and the external trigger does not work. Seems there is not any way to get tech help from Keysight. I wonder if I made an expensive mistake buying this! DRAT!

Thank you so much. One question, if I have multiple channels, how can separate triggers be set for each channel? I have a dsox2014a.

Finally, the missing piece of understanding has been eliminated. Thank you!
