An improved delayed sweep system is disclosed for an oscilloscope having main and delayed sweeps.
A trigger pickoff circuit has means for providing a pair of pre-selected trigger pickoff points on the delaying sweep so that delayed sweeps may be generated in accordance with the two points selected.
An alternating display mode facilitates presentation of the delaying sweep and both delayed sweeps in a single display, with the relative time positions of both delayed sweeps appearing on the delaying sweep as a pair of intensified zones.
Either delay time measurement between the sweep start and a point of interest on the display, or differential time measurement between two points of interest on the display may be made.
Voltages proportional to the selected time measurement may be applied to a properly scaled digital voltmeter to provide a direct readout in units of time.
