Meas Off (Spectrum Analyzer) Measurement
Mode
Trig Slope Controls the trigger polarity. It is set positive to trigger on a rising edge and 
negative to trigger on a falling edge.
Trig Delay   Controls a time delay during which the analyzer will wait to begin a sweep 
after meeting the trigger criteria. You can use negative delay to pre-trigger the instrument 
in time domain, but not in swept spans. 
Dependencies / Couplings The range of the Video Trigger Level is dependent on the Reference 
Level.
Trigger level selection is not available with free run or external 
triggering.
