When Line is selected, start of a new sweep/measurement will be synchronized with
the next cycle of the line voltage.
Line trigger is not available when operating from a "dc power source", for example,
when the instrument is powered from batteries.

The Trigger tab contains the following Trigger Source dependent controls when Line
Trigger is selected:
–
