Beyond edge triggering: How to use scope triggers for debugging.
By Douglas J. Beck
The oscilloscope is a fundamental instrument for electrical engineers; however, I still often run into the occasional engineer who doesn't use the trigger functions effectively.

The purpose of this article is to help engineers understand the basics of the trigger feature, as well as strategies to use it effectively.
