Video
Activates the trigger condition that allows the next sweep to start if the 
detected RF envelope voltage rises to a level set by the video trigger 
level. When 
Video is pressed, a line appears on the display. The analyzer 
triggers when the input signal exceeds the trigger level at the left edge 
of the display. You can change the trigger level using the step keys, the 
knob, or the numeric keypad

NOTE This function is not available when the Resolution Bandwidth is less 
than 1 kHz. If a Resolution Bandwidth less than 1 kHz is selected while 
in Video Trigger mode, the Trigger mode changes to Free Run.
Line Activates the trigger condition that allows the next sweep to be 
synchronized with the next cycle of the line voltage.

NOTE Line trigger is not available when operating from a dc power source.
External 
Pos Neg
Activates the trigger condition that allows the next sweep to start when 
the external voltage (connected to 
GATE TRIG/EXT TRIG IN on the rear 
panel) passes through approximately 1.5 volts. The external trigger 
signal must be a 0 V to +5 V TTL signal. This function also controls the 
trigger polarity (for positive or negative-going signals).

TV
Option B7B (TV Trigger and Picture on Screen) only. Activates the 
trigger condition that allows the next sweep to be synchronized with the 
next occurrence of the synchronizing pulse of a selected TV line.
Line number range is dependent on the settings of the 
Standard and 
Field menus within the TV Trig Setup menu. When the line number is 
incremented beyond the upper limit, the value will change to the lower 
limit and continue incrementing from there. When the line number is 
decremented below the lower limit, the value will change to the upper 
limit and continue decrementing from there.
