Hi,
I am trying to use a GW INSTEK GOS-620 20MHz analog oscilloscope to display the output of a LED flasher (once per second) using a 555 timer on the screen. I am trying to show a square wave on CRT. Unfortunately I am unable to do so:
+ At low time/div settings (0.1, 0.2, etc. ms) all I can see is a line moving up and down between 5V and 0V.
+ At high time/div settings (0.1, 0.2 etc second) all I can see is a dot moving up and down.
This is logically correct. However, how can I make it display the square wave nicely as in the case with a digital oscilloscope? I have tried both AC/DC coupling, various trigger settings to no avail.
The oscilloscope is working normally and has no problem with other signals with high enough frequency.
