The one thing to be careful of is the amount of 'disk' storage on the hardware. Most models have 2MB, but others have 8MB. You can tell that by plugging in to PC and seeing what it reports. That does affect what alternative software you can load like the community app version instead of the supplied software as much of it assumes the 2MB model. It is fairly easy to play around with the software and you might also want to check out things like the Pawn scripting software as that allows you to use and write scripts for specific measurements, in effect turning the device into a specialised instrument.On usage, it sounds like you need to play around with and understand the triggering in order to get a steady display. There are various triggering modes, Auto, Normal, Single etc., plus different settings for the trigger itself, edge, automatic, manual. Auto and normal are similar except that Auto will trigger after an interval even if it can't find a real trigger, this can give an unsteady display if there is not a good trigger as it is effectively just starting at random intervals with respect to the signal. Normal will only refresh when it gets a real trigger so the display won't update if there is no trigger. Single is what is says; it will only capture once after it finds a trigger and needs to be re-armed with the run button. Triggers settings are then selected by edge (+/-) or level, plus auto level or manual. Auto tries to find the level based on the input signal and can be set to be 1/4. 1/2. or 3/4 of the signal extremes. Manual allows you to manually set a trigger threshold which you can see as a horizontal line on the screen. Triggering will occur when the signal passes through this threshold.Thank you!! I'll give this a try later on and see if I can get the square wave to stay steady.Statistics : Posted by zenoture • on Sat Nov 16, 2013 6:22 pm • Replies 7 • Views 1211
