Slope and Level
The Slope and Level controls help to define the trigger. The Slope option
(Edge trigger type only) determines whether the oscilloscope finds the
trigger point on the rising and/or the falling edge of a signal.
The TRIGGER LEVEL knob controls at what point on the edge the trigger
occurs.

NOTE: Press the SINGLE button when you want the oscilloscope to
acquire a single waveform.
Trigger coupling affects only the signal passed to the trigger system.
It does not affect the bandwidth or coupling of the signal displayed
on the screen.
Normal Polarity Sync triggers always occur on negative-going
horizontal sync pulses. If the video waveform has positive-going
horizontal sync pulses, use the Inverted Polarity selection.
