Setting Up Triggers
Use the trigger controls to set the conditions on which the oscilloscope will trigger
and acquire an input signal. You can set up a variety of trigger conditions. Edge
triggers and the parameters for edge triggering can be set up from the front panel.
Trigger configuration settings you make using the user interface are reflected in
the front-panel status indicators, and will remain set unless you change them or
press the [Default Setup] key.
Setting the oscilloscope to trigger on an edge
1 Press the [Source] key until the desired source LED is lit.
You can choose any of the channels or the Aux Trig or Line input as the source

2 Press the [Slope] key until the desired slope LED is lit.
You can have an edge trigger on a rising or falling edge, or both.
