Can oscilloscope triggering be used to reject jittered signals during averaging?
Please correct me if I should place my question in a different subreddit.
Hi there, I'm using a pulsed laser to illuminate a detector, and then measuring signal from detector on the oscilloscope. I use electronic "trigger out" from laser to position on my signal. Actual light pulse starts a little later after electronic trigger. However, some of my laser pulses are probably jittered, and not all them have equal spacing from the trigger. It can be seen as oscilloscope signal frequently starting at later time (signal jumps back and forth by ~1-1.5 ns).
My question is: is it possible to setup some more advanced triggering, so after triggering by electronic trigger, the signal would be acquired only when it starts at the correct time (to reject the rest of the jittered signals comming later than some starting point)? Maybe you have any other ideas for extracting correct unjittered signals? My goal is to average only the correct signals.
My scope is quite decent for my needs, but also quite old, and might not have some modern features (Keysight DSO90805A).
