A trigger setup tells the oscilloscope when to acquire and display data. For 
example, you can set up to trigger on the rising edge of the analog channel 1 input 
signal.
You can use any input channel or the 
"External Trigger Input" on page 159 BNC as 
the source for most trigger types.
You can adjust the vertical level used for analog channel edge detection by turning 
the Trigger Level knob.
In addition to the edge trigger type, you can also set up triggers on rise/fall times, 
patterns, pulse widths, runt pulses, setup and hold violations, and protocol signals 
(if option licenses are installed).
Changes to the trigger setup are applied immediately. If the oscilloscope is 
stopped when you change a trigger setup, the oscilloscope uses the new 
specification when you press [Run/Stop] or [Single]. If the oscilloscope is running 
when you change a trigger setup, it uses the new trigger definition when it starts 
the next acquisition. You can save trigger setups along with the oscilloscope setup 
(see 
Chapter 21, “Save/Email/Recall (Setups, Screens, Data),” starting on page 
261).
Options that apply to all trigger types are:
