The Importance of Digital Triggering in Today's Oscilloscopes

Overview: 
Oscilloscopes are the primary instrument used for measuring time-domain parameters of waveforms such as rise time and amplitude. The different time-invariant behavior of hardware components can cause measurement errors that cannot be calibrated. Triggering based on digitized data can provide a consistent signal path for the acquisition and trigger system.

Featured in this webinar:

• Difference between analog and digital trigger systems
• Benefits of digital triggering
• Flexible trigger filtering
• Stable triggering on signals with high frequency noise
