TRIG Level 
It sets the amplitude level the signal must cross to cause an acquisition when using the Edge or 
Pulse Width trigger. 
 
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). 
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/5: Same as EXT option, but attenuates the signal by 
a factor of 5 and allows a trigger level range of +6V to -6V. 
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 TIME/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. 
AC   
DC   
Noise Reject 
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. 
Noise Reject: Attenuates the noise conponents. 
HF  Reject:  Attenuates  the  high-frequency  components 
above 80kHz. 
LF  Reject:  Blocks  DC  components  and  attenuates  the 
low-frequency components below 8kHz. 
Set the vertical trigger postion to the channel zero level 
postion. 
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.
