You might need to darken the oscilloscope environment or use a viewing
hood.  Some analog non-storage oscilloscopes, either because of design
or age, are not going to be able to display a short pulse at 1 second
intervals.  I tested this on my old but in good condition 2230 and it
could display it dimly in normal room light but my older worn 7603 can
not.
