# Top of the P(acq) - Oscilloscope Talk


[Supplyframe Hardware](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVc3qqFrTTyyLp-xkx7MoOw) has published a video of a [talk I gave in July 2017](/appearances/signals-abound-hddg-22). This talk was at HDDG 22. The focus of my discussion was how an oscilloscope's trigger circuit works. I built on that and talked about some of the behind-the-scenes stuff of what is going on with a digital oscilloscope. (You can download my [HDDG 22 slides](/slides/oscilloscope-triggering-hddg-22) here.)
