HI
i have an HP 54510A oscilloscope. i want to catch a current spike in my circuit but i dont know how.. i dont know what mode this is called but i want the scope to capture the current spike and pause data acquisition. maybe its called auto triggering single shot mode?? the oscilloscope has a single shot mode but its a button whenever i press it i can pause the oscilloscope and check the waveform but i want it to pause on its own when theres a rising edge for example. does anyone know how i can do this? or what this mode is called? the scope has extra bnc connector for external triggering do i have to use this to get what i want? thx.
