My circuit pulses once every second. that is one pulse that is -0.000005 seconds long. one pulse only every second .... the rest of the time is nothing ... I need to capture a picture of this pulse. I have been using tektronix with all different models to teach. The "BRAND NEW" I just received is hiding the secret on how I can look at this single pulse.

Hello,

To set the scope to wait for a trigger event and capture a single pulse press the Single button on the front panel.

You may also want to try setting the trigger to normal instead of auto. To do this open the Trigger Menu > More > Mode > Normal. This will prevent the scope form automatically triggering and to wait for a trigger condition.
