I want to capture a single pulse with a Hantek DSO 5072p. The problem is that it is only a single pulse, not a wave form. It has a single sequence function that I've messed with but haven't been able to make it work with a single pulse. Does the scope actually have the capability to do what I want? Thanks in advance for help and or suggestions.

Welcome to the forum.

Any DSO should be able to eat this for breakfast !
For captures like these we use a slowish timebase (say 20 or 50ms) with an edge trigger setting (rising or falling as required) and Single shot mode. The display will go blank until your set trigger conditions are met then and only then you will have your capture !
Once captured you can zoom in on it for greater inspection or save it to a USB stick.
Others might use a Normal trigger setting as as normal with an edge trigger set to rising or falling as the case requires. Normal and Single both have their uses and user preference for either.
Post a screenshot when you capture it successfully. :)

Thanks for the reply. I think I got it. I changed the trigger to normal instead of auto. Seems to work now.
