One of the many functions a digital oscilloscope offers over its analog ancestors is a trigger button. Alongside the usual electronic means of triggering the instrument, you can reach over and press a button to \u201cfreeze-frame\u201d the action and preserve the trace. Sometimes doing it repeatedly it can become a chore to reach for the ‘scope. that’s where [Kevin Santo Cappuccio]’s remote trigger button comes in.<\/p>\n

The button itself is about as simple a hack as it gets. The ‘scope was carefully dissected and some fine wires laid from the contacts within the front panel to a connector on the case. From there a cable goes to a box with a momentary action button switch. Plug in the box, and you can trigger the ‘scope from a distance!<\/p>\n

We have to admit to rather admiring this hack, as needing to trigger the ‘scope is a well-known problem here. It’s easy to stab the wrong button and lose what you are looking for, so we’re rather surprised we didn’t think of this one ourselves. But then again from another viewpoint, it involves dissecting an expensive instrument which is best left unmolested. Perhaps manufacturers should consider adding this functionality.<\/p>\n

This may be the most straightforward oscilloscope hack we’ve shown you, but it’s certainly not the first.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
