A digital oscilloscope will display it in single shot mode. Play with the trigger level until you trigger on the leading edge of the pulse.Thank you all.
I thinking of going with a oscilloscope.
Will a oscilloscope display the pulse width of a one shot pulse? One pulse, i.e. hi then low, not a frequency.
Yes. Set the trigger mode to "Normal". Of course, to view the waveform after it is created you will need some form of storage.Will a oscilloscope display the pulse width of a one shot pulse? One pulse, i.e. hi then low, not a frequency.
Thx for the link!This might help ( videos on triggering and other features ) -
Petkan:Is there a way to display the width of a single dc pulse in fractions of a second on an a screen?
I want to know the actual width of a pulse from a 555 timer in monostable operation, not the calculated.
The pulse width is .1 sec to .5 sec.
