Hello,
This is a question about how to sample the charging of a capacitor on an oscilloscope in Multisim.
I have the circuit below and running the simulation. On the oscilloscope, that is shown in the video below, you can see how the potential decays after the switch is closed. After a while the scope resets, and restart the sampling, i.e. the cursor jumps back to the start position. Is it possible to configure the oscilloscope so that a whole trace can be recorded for the charging of the capacitor? How should the trigger be set?
Any comments appreciated.
Here is the circuit
**broken link removed**
The oscilloscope recording is shown in the video below. You can see when the switched is closed, and how the potential then decreases. Before reaching the end of the time-axis, i.e. the x-axis, the cursor jumps back to the zero position and restarts the sampling.
