This module introduces the Simple Edge Trigger in PicoScope, covering how triggering stabilizes waveforms and allows the scope to capture signals on demand rather than requiring manual interaction.

Practical use cases covered include:

  • Triggering on a rising pressure signal for manual pull-start engine captures
  • Using starter inrush current as a trigger for relative compression tests
  • Demonstrating a basic analog signal to walk through trigger settings hands-on

Trevor also explains the difference between No Trigger, Auto, and Repeat trigger modes, and demonstrates how rising and falling edge triggers behave in practice.
