Question Regarding Power Supply Ripple Measurement - 2465B


 

In the 2400 series manuals, the table that defines the measurements for voltage and ripple state (for ripple measurement):

p-p Ripple at Two
Times Line Frequency

How is this supposed to be done? With a 60Hz line frequency (U.S.), is this supposed to be performed with the scope measuring the ripple triggered at 120Hz or am I misinterpreting what's being stated? Is it simply assumed that any ripple will present itself at twice the line frequency (full-wave rectification) and the scope being used to measure this will simply trigger at that frequency (assumedly using a fairly slow sweep speed to better see the waveform)?

Thanks,
