I have seen the suggestions to study the waveforms at
a much higher
resolution. What I am doing is setting the overall timebase in the 100ms
range so that I can trigger on when the 555 starts to oscillate and capture
the whole period of operation until the SCR triggers. I can then zoom in, as
can be seen from the trace provided in this email. I hope that is good
enough, or am I missing some problem with doing it this way?
The timebase will also affect the sampling rate (due to the finite
memory depth) so some finer details of the waveform may not be captured
when running at a slower rate.
