Hi

Thank you for your post.

I suggest triggering off the input, ie put the signal on channel A and then set the trigger for channel A.

You then need to set the trigger threshold for a value that is only reached at one point in the cycle. The difficulty with video signals is that when the trigger is set in the middle ranges there are a number of points for it to trigger off on the cycle and hence it appears to 'jump' a bit. If you set the trigger for just below the maximum point reached, or likewise just above the minimum point, this should help the trace to stay fixed on the screen.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards
