Basic Operation
DSO5000P Series Digital Storage Oscilloscope User Manual 27
1. Level
It sets the amplitude level the signal must cross to cause an acquisition when using the Edge or
Pulse Width trigger.
2. Set to 50%
The trigger level is set to the vertical midpoint between the peaks of the trigger signal.
3. Force Trigger
Used to complete an acquisition regardless of an adequate trigger signal. This button becomes
useless if the acquisition is already stopped.
4. TRIG MENU
Push this button to display trigger menus. The edge trigger is in common use. See the table below
for details.

By default the oscilloscope uses the edge trigger which triggers
the oscilloscope on the rising or falling edge of the
input signal when it crosses the trigger level (threshold).
Source
CH1
CH2
EXT
EXT/5
AC Line
Select the input source as the trigger signal.
CH1, CH2: No matter the waveform is displayed or not, a
certain channel will be triggered.
EXT: Does not display the trigger signal and allows a trigger
level range of +1.6V to -1.6V.
EXT/5: Same as EXT option, but attenuates the signal by a
factor of 5 and allows a trigger level range of +8V to -8V.
AC Line: Uses a signal derived from the power cord as the
trigger source.
Mode
Auto
Normal
Select a trigger mode.
By default, the oscilloscope uses the Auto mode. In this mode,
the oscilloscope is forced to trigger when it does not detect a
trigger within a certain amount of time based on the SEC/DIV
setting. The oscilloscope goes into the scan mode at 80ms/div
or slower time base settings.
In the Normal mode, the oscilloscope updates the display only
when it detects a valid trigger condition. New waveforms are not
displayed until they replace old ones. Use this mode to just view
valid triggered waveforms. Only after the first trigger does the
display appear.
Coupling
AC
DC
HF Reject
LF Reject
Select the components of the trigger signal applied to the trigger
circuitry.
AC: Blocks DC components and attenuates signals below
10Hz.
DC: Passes all components of the signal.
HF Reject: Attenuates the high-frequency components above
80kHz.
LF Reject: Blocks DC components and attenuates the
low-frequency components below 8kHz.
NOTE: Trigger coupling only affects the signal passed through the trigger system. It does
not affect the bandwidth or coupling of the signal displayed on the screen.
