Hold off Function :


Holdoff sets the amount of time that the oscilloscope will wait before rearming the
trigger circuit. You can use the holdoff function to stabilize the display of complex
waveforms.
With the holdoff function, you can synchronize triggers. The oscilloscope will trigger
on one edge of the waveform, and ignore further edges until the holdoff time is up.
The oscilloscope will then rearm the trigger circuit to wait for the next edge trigger.
This allows the oscilloscope to trigger on a repeating pattern in a waveform.
Turn the Entry knob to increase or decrease the trigger hold off time shown in the
Holdoff softkey.
To get a stable trigger on the pulse burst shown on the screen, set the holdoff time to
be slightly less than the period of the pulse burst.

If you do not see a waveform on the screen when using Normal trigger mode, press
the force key to acquire the signal baseline to verify that it is on the screen.
After you press the single key to set up for a single shot acquisition, you can press the
force key to do a practice acquisition to verify the control settings.
Trigger Level Control :
Use the trigger level control knob to adjust the trigger level. When you change the
trigger level, a horizontal line temporarily appears to show you the level on screen.
After the line disappears, the trigger level is marked with a small left arrow. Auto and
Normal Trigger Modes
Press the trigger menu key to display the trigger menu and press the mode softkey to
select Auto or Normal trigger mode.
Note : The Auto and Normal trigger mode is unavailable when Video trigger type is
selected.
Auto mode :
Use the auto trigger mode for signals other than low-repetitive-rate signals and for
unknown signal levels. To display a DC signal, you must use Auto trigger mode since
there is no edge to trigger on. When you press run/stop key to start acquiring, the
oscilloscope first fill the pre-trigger buffer. It starts to search for a trigger after the
pre-trigger buffer is filled, and continues to flow data through this buffer while it
searches for the trigger.
While searching for the trigger, the oscilloscope overflows the pre-trigger buffer; the
first data put into the buffer is the first pushed out. When a trigger is found, the pre-
trigger buffer will contain the events that occurred just before the trigger. If no trigger
is found, the oscilloscope generates a trigger and displays the data as though a trigger
had occurred. In this case, the background of the Auto indicator at the top of the
display will flash, indicating that the oscilloscope is force triggered.
When you press the single key, the oscilloscope will fill the pre-trigger buffer, and
continue to flow data through the pre-trigger buffer until the Auto trigger overrides
the searching and forces a trigger. At the end of the trace, the oscilloscope will stop
and display the results.

7000 Series

Normal mode :
Use Normal trigger mode for low repetitive-rate signals or when Auto trigger is not
required. In Normal mode the oscilloscope must fill the pre-trigger buffer with data
before it will begin searching for a trigger event. While searching for the trigger, the
oscilloscope overflows the pre-trigger buffer; the first data put into the buffer is the
first pushed out. When the trigger event is found, the oscilloscope will fill the post-
trigger buffer and display the results. If the acquisition was initiated by run/stop, the
process repeats. If the acquisition was initiated by single, then the acquisition stops.
In either Auto or Normal mode, the trigger may be missed. This is because the
oscilloscope will not recognize a trigger event until the pre-trigger buffer is full.
Video Trigger :
Choose video triggering to trigger on the odd fields, even fields, or on all the lines of
an NTSC, PAL/SECAM video signal.

• Check that the power cord is connected to the oscilloscope and to a live power
source.
• Check that the power switch is on.
• Check that the display contrast is adjusted properly.
• Contact our engineer if there is still no display.
If there is no waveform displayed :
• Check that the oscilloscope probe lead wires are securely inserted into the
connector assembly and that the probe clips make good contact with the probe
lead wires.
• Check that the probe clips are securely connected to points in the circuit under
test and that the ground is connected.
• Check that the circuit under test is power on.
• Press the Auto key again.
If the waveform display is not stable :
• Check that the trigger Source channel is actually the channel to which the trigger
signal is connected.
• Check that the proper trigger type is selected. Video type is only used to trigger
a Video signal. Proper trigger type is essential to acquire a stable display.
• Try to use the HF Reject or LF Reject to reduce the noise of the trigger signal.
If the amplitude is not identical with the actual voltage :
• Check that the attenuation factor of the probe is identical with the attenuation
factor set in the channel menu.
