Slope Trigger
In slope trigger, the oscilloscope triggers on the positive slope or negative slope with
the specified time.
Trigger Type:
Press Type, rotate to select "Slope" and press down . At this point, the
trigger setting information is displayed at the upper right corner of the screen. For
example,
. The trigger type is slope trigger; the trigger source is
CH1; the difference between the upper limit of trigger level and the lower limit of
trigger level is 1.24 V.
Source Selection:
Press Source to switch the signal source list between CH1 and CH2. For the details,
please refer to the introduction in "
Trigger Source". The current trigger source is
displayed at the upper right corner of the screen.
Note: Select channel with signal input as trigger source to obtain stable trigger.

two crossing points of trigger level line A and B with the rising edge; negative slope
time is defined as the time difference between the two crossing points of trigger level
line A and B with the falling edge as shown in the figure below.
