This module covers triggering controls in PicoScope 6, with a focus on what's changed from PicoScope 5 and what new capabilities are available.

Topics include:

  • Trigger modes: None, Auto, Repeat, and Single
  • Channel selection and trigger slope (rising/falling edge)
  • Trigger threshold adjustment
  • Pre-trigger percentage and post-trigger delay, including how to combine them
  • Trigger behavior in streaming mode
  • Using the waveform buffer to capture multiple triggered events hands-free

The module wraps up with a practical demonstration of using trigger to capture starter current draw tests, illustrating how these settings can be applied in a real diagnostic scenario.
