in the Gate Source menu, and also for the RF Burst selection in the Periodic Sync Src menu

8.1.7 Relative Trigger Level
Sets the relative trigger level for the RF burst envelope.
In some models, the relative burst trigger function is implemented in hardware. In
other models, without the advanced triggering hardware required, the relative burst
trigger function is implemented in software in some measurements, and is
unavailable in other measurements.
When implemented in software, the relative RF Burst trigger function is
implemented as follows:
1.
The measurement starts with the absolute RF Burst trigger setting. If it cannot
get a trigger with that level, auto trigger fires and the acquisition starts anyway.
After the acquisition, the measurement searches for the peak in the acquired
waveform and saves it
2.
In the next cycle of the measurement, the measurement determines a new
absolute RF Burst level based on the peak value from the first measurement and
the Relative RF Burst Trigger Level (always 0 or negative dB) set by the user. The
following formula is used: absolute RF Burst level = peak level of the previous
acquisition + relative RF Burst level
3.
If the new absolute RF Burst level differs from the previous by more than 0.5 dB,
the new level is sent to the hardware; otherwise, it is not updated (to avoid
slowing down the acquisition)
Steps 2 and 3 repeat for subsequent measurements.

Example Set the trigger level of the RF burst envelope signal to the relative level of -10dB:
:TRIG:RFB:LEV:REL -10 dB
