In the top screen shot, the top line is channel one. Bottom channel two. Channel one is the trigger. The channel 2 pulse occurs ~20ms after the trigger.



I would like to get a closer look at these pulses. But if I increase my timebase to 2ms per division I get this.



I lose the pulse after the trigger pulse.



If I adjust the delay I can do a bit better.



But what if I wanted to increase the time base even further? Is there a better way to do this?

History does not seem to work because of the amount of data being captured I am running out of memory (I think).

Might there be a feature I am missing with a better way to see the traces the way I want? Or am I pretty much stuck with what I have?

 

Do you have a magnify option on the timebase? My 40 year old analog Tek scope has a 10X magnify.

I do not or at least I am not aware. It is a DSO Siglent 1202X-E

 

Use the Zoom function, discussed in manual.
