Oscilloscope Options

Triggering

  • Enable
    Use this switch to turn waveform triggering on or off.
  • Source
    A trigger source can be chosen for all selected channels in the oscilloscope. If the selected source is Self, then each channel will trigger itself. This is the standard behavior in earlier versions of SignalScope. If any other source is selected, then all channels will be triggered from that same source.
  • Mode
    SignalScope offers three trigger modes: Normal, Auto, and Single Shot. In Normal mode, the displayed spectrum remains frozen until a trigger event occurs. In Auto mode, the display continues to be updated whether or not a trigger event occurs, so the signal can still be monitored even if it is not triggered. In Single Shot mode, the display will continue to be updated until a trigger event occurs. Once the trigger event occurs, the signal display will be frozen. Single Shot mode is convenient for capturing transient events with the oscilloscope.
  • Slope
    A trigger event occurs when a source signal exceeds some user-defined threshold value, with a user-defined slope (positive or negative). You may specify the slope by selecting Positive or Negative in the segment control.
  • Threshold
    A trigger event occurs when a source signal exceeds some user-defined threshold value, with a user-defined slope (positive or negative). You may specify the threshold value by tapping on the text box and entering a desired value.

Data Export Includes

  • Current Location
    When this option is enabled, the latitude, longitude, and altitude at the time of the measurement will be included in exported data files. Horizontal and vertical accuracy (in meters) will also be included.
