to select ’line
’.
When ’line’ is selected, this function is intensified. The line frequency is used as
the trigger source.
- Slowly vary the frequency of the sine-wave input signal.
Observe that when the input frequency is close to an integer multiple of the line
frequency, the running sine wave slows down or even stands still. Line triggering
can be used to display signals or signal components that are related to the line
frequency (e.g., hum or power supply ripple).
