:TRACe[n]:TRIGger:CURRent:DIRection 
This command specifies whether the current rises above or falls below a specified level when the level trigger is 
activated. 
Usage 
:TRACe[n]:TRIGger:CURRent:DIRection <direction> 
:TRACe[n]:TRIGger:CURRent:DIRection? 
 
The direction can be RISE or FALL 
Example 
 
TRAC:TRIG:CURR:DIR RISE 
TRAC:TRIG:CURR:DIR? 
The level trigger will be activated when the current 
rises above the preset threshold value. 
Also see 
:TRACe[n]:TRIGger:CURRent:STATe (on page 7-145) 
:TRACe[n]:TRIGger:CURRent[:LEVel] (on page 7-144) 
:TRACe[n]:TRIGger:CURRent[:LEVel] 
This command configures the current threshold value for the level trigger. 
Usage 
:TRACe[n]:TRIGger:CURRent[:LEVel] <current threshold> 
:TRACe[n]:TRIGger:CURRent[:LEVel]? 
 
The value of this parameter depends on the trace feed and relative status: 
  If TRACe:FEED is CALC, the current threshold ranges from -1.0E7 
to 1.0E7 
  If TRACe:FEED is SENSe and Relative is off , the current threshold 
is from 0 to 3.3 for Model 2280S-60-3, and from 0 to 6.1 for Model 
2280S-32-6 
  If TRACe:FEED is SENSe and Relative is on, the current threshold 
is from -3.3 to 6.6 for Model 2280S-60-3, and from -6.1 to 12.2 for 
Model 2280S-32--6.
