Abstract
Abstract A waveform searching system for a sampling oscilloscope, in which the instantaneous level of a high-speed sawtooth signal generated by a trigger signal synchronized with an input analog signal and the instantaneous level of a properly attenuated or amplified X-axis sweep wave are compared with each other to generate a pulse in a case of coincidence therebetween, thereby to generate sampling pulses sequentially delayed after the trigger signal by a constant time; the input analog signal is sampled by the sampling pulses to produce sampled pulses; and the sampled pulses are displayed by the X-axis sweep signal on a CRT. In accordance with the present invention, there are provided detecting means for detecting a predetermined condition where a waveform formed by respective peak values of the sampled pulses cross in a predetermined direction at a predetermined search level by a predetermined number; and control means for sequentially changing a time base range until the detecting means detects the predetermined condition, whereby the sampled pulses having the predetermined condition are automatically displayed on the CRT.
