The trigger determines when the oscilloscope starts to acquire data and display a wave-
form. When a trigger is set up properly, it can convert unstable displays or blank screens
into meaningful waveforms. If the oscilloscope wants to acquire a waveform, it collects
enough data so that it can draw the waveform to the left of the trigger point. The
oscilloscope continues to acquire data while waiting for the trigger condition to occur. The
oscilloscope continues to acquire enough data so that it can draw the waveform to the
right of the trigger point after it detects a trigger.
The Edge trigger determines whether the oscilloscope finds the trigger point on the rising
or the falling edge of a signal. Select Edge trigger mode to trigger on Rising edge or
Falling edge.

Acquisition
When you acquire a signal, the oscilloscope converts it into a digital form and displays a
waveform. The acquisition mode defines how the signal is digitized and the time base
setting affects the time span and level of detail in the acquisition.
USER’S MANUAL 62
Page 63
Hantek 6000EU Digital Oscilloscope
3.11 Acquisition Modes
There are four acquisition modes: Normal, Average, Peak Detect and High Res.
Normal: In this acquisition mode, the oscilloscope samples the signal in evenly spaced
intervals to construct the waveform.
Average: In this acquisition mode, the oscilloscope acquires several waveforms, averages
them, and displays the resulting waveform. You can use this mode to reduce random noise.
Peak Detect: In this acquisition mode, the oscilloscope finds the maximum and the
minimum in every sampling interval, and use these values to show waveform.
High Resolution: This mode uses a kind of ultra-sample technique to average the
neighboring points of the sample waveform to reduce the random noise on the input signal
and generate much smoother waveforms on the screen. This is generally used when the
sample rate of the digital converter is higher than the storage rate of the acquisition
memory.
Note: "Average" and "High Res" modes use different averaging methods. The former
uses
"Multi-sample Average" and the latter uses "Single Sample Average".
3.12 Acquisition Option
There are five acquisition option: DPO, FastAcq, Segment, Normal and ETS.
USER’S MANUAL 63
Page 64
Hantek 6000EU Digital Oscilloscope
DPO:In this mode, the oscilloscope supports 256-level intensity grading
display with one channel. The Max Waveform capture rate up to 60,000 wfm/s.
FastAcq: In this mode, the oscilloscope supports 1-level intensity grading
display with one channel. The Max Waveform capture rate up to 400,000 wfm/s.
Segment:In this mode, the oscilloscope does not display waveform during
sampling process. It can be improves the waveform capture rate, so it can
capture the small probability event effectively. The oscilloscope continues to
trigger until memory is filled, and then display the waveforms on the screen.
Upper left corner of the screen, it displays the completed waveform number
The segment mode can be used with all the trigger sweep.
Do the following steps to set and check the segment waveform.
1. Press the Acquire -> Acq Option -> Segment.
2.Set the number of the “TotalSegment”.The max number of the “TotalSegment” is
50000.
3. Press the menu with “Start”
USER’S MANUAL 64
Page 65
Hantek 6000EU Digital Oscilloscope
ETS:Equivalent Time Sampling. A method of increasing the effective
sampling rate of the scope. In a scope view, the program captures several
cycles of a repetitive signal, then combines the results to produce a single
waveform with higher time-resolution than a single capture. For accurate results,
the signal must be perfectly repetitive and the trigger must be stable.

Hantek 6000EU Digital Oscilloscope
4.2 Capturing a Single-Shot Signal
To capture a single event, it needs to gather some pre-test knowledge of the signal in order
to set up the trigger level and slope correctly. For example, if the event is derived from 3.3V
COMS logic, a trigger level of 1.2 or higher Volts should work on a rising edge. Do these
steps as follows:
1. Set the probe and the channel attenuations to X 10.
2. Set up the trigger in the Trigger Menu, or in the Trigger Setting window.
1) Adjust the Trigger Mode to Edge.
2) Set the Trigger Sweep to Single.
3) Set the Trigger Source to CH1.
4) Set the Trigger Slope to “+” which means you select the rising edge.
5) Adjust the Volts/Div and the time base in a proper range for the signal.
6) Drag the trigger level sign on the waveform display screen to proper position. It ally
higher a little above the normal level.
7) Click START button to start capturing. When the trigger conditions are met, data
appears on the display representing the data points that the oscilloscope obtained with one
acquisition.
This function helps to capture the signal occurrence easily, such as the noise with large
amplitude; set the trigger level higher a little above the normal level and press and wait.
When noise occurs, the instrument will record the waveform before and after the trigger.
4.3 The Application of the X-Y Operation
X-Y Plot acts to analyze correlation of data of two channels. Lissajous diagram is displayed
in the screen when you use X-Y Plot, which enables to compare frequencies, amplitudes
and phases of counterpart waveform against the reference waveform. This makes it
possible to compare and analyze frequency, amplitude and phase between input and
output.
Do these steps as follows:
1. Set the probe attenuation to “x10” Set the switch to “x10” on the probes.
2. Connect the CH1 probe to the input of the circuit, and connect the CH2 probe to the
output of the circuit.
3. Click button.
4. Adjust the vertical scale and offset to display approximately the same amplitude
signals on each channel.
5. Select X-Y format at Horizontal window. The oscilloscope will displays a Lissajous
USER’S MANUAL 70
Page 71
Hantek 6000EU Digital Oscilloscope
pattern representing the input and the output characteristics of the circuit.
6. Adjust the scale and offset of the horizontal and vertical to a desirable waveform
display. The following picture shows a typical example.
7. Apply the Ellipse Method to observe the phase difference between the two channels.
Signal in X-Y Format:
Instruction of the Ellipse Method
Sinθ = A/B or C/D, where θ = phase shift (in degrees) between the two signals.
From the formula above:
θ = _arcsine (A/B) or _arcsine (C/D)
θ must be in the range of (0~π/2) or (3π/2~2π) if the main axis of the ellipse is between I
and III quadrant, . If the main axis is at II and IV quadrant, θ must be in the range of (π/2~π)
or (π~3π/2).
