13.4 Trigger Mode
The trigger mode determines how the oscilloscope acquires waveforms.
Auto:
An internal timer triggers the sweep after a preset timeout period if no trigger has been found
so that the oscilloscope continuously updates the display whether a trigger happens or not. Auto
mode is suitable for unknown signals or DC signals.
Note:
In Auto mode, if the signal satisfies the trigger conditions but cannot
trigger the oscilloscope stably, it may be that interval between two trigger
events exceeds the timeout period. Try Normal mode in this case.
Normal:
Triggers and acquisitions only occur when the trigger conditions are met. Otherwise, the
oscilloscope holds the last waveform on the display and waits for the next trigger. Normal mode is
suitable for acquiring:
ï‚Ÿ Only events specified by the trigger settings
ï‚Ÿ Rare events
Single:
Captures and displays a single frame that satisfies the trigger conditions, and then stops. The
following trigger events are ignored until the Single acquisition is restarted. Single-mode is suitable for:
ï‚Ÿ One-shot events or periodic signals, such as power-on\off waveforms on a power rail
ï‚Ÿ Rare events
Force:
The oscilloscope triggers regardless of whether the input signal meets the trigger conditions or
not.
