How do I count trigger events on my MDO4054?

Hello,

The best way to count the number of Triggers is to use an external Counter. To do this, push the Utility button and select Ext Signals under the Utility Page tab. Set the Aux Out tab to Main Trigger. This will supply a falling edge to the Aux Out connector on the back of the scope every time the scope triggers an acquisition.

If you do not have a Counter, you can use Act of Event to count the number times your scope triggers an acquisition. To do this, push Test and select Act on Event. Set the Event to Trigger, the Action to AUX OUT Pulse, and Repeat to infinity. This setup will count each time the scope triggers on a signal and show this number in the Repeat tab. The trade-off with this solution is that the acquisition rate is slowed down.
