5-12  MSO7000/DS7000 User Guide 
Trigger Parameter Setting: 
Set the trigger parameters (trigger holdoff  and noise  rejection) under this trigger 
type.  For  details,  refer  to  descriptions  in  "Trigger  Holdoff"  and  "Noise 
Rejection". 
 
Trigger LEVEL/Threshold Level: 
Rotate the Trigger    LEVEL knob to adjust the trigger level or threshold level. 
Please refer to descriptions in "Trigger LEVEL/Threshold Level". The current 
trigger level/threshold level value is displayed at the upper-right corner of the screen. 
 
 
Slope Trigger 
 
In Slope trigger, the oscilloscope triggers on the positive or negative slope of the 
specified time. This trigger mode is applicable to ramp and triangle waveforms. 
 
In this oscilloscope, positive slope time is defined as the time difference between the 
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.

Trigger Type: 
Press Type, and then rotate the multifunction knob    to select "Slope". Press 
down the knob to select the trigger type. Then, the current trigger setting 
information is displayed at the upper-right corner of the screen, as shown in the 
figure below. You can also press Type continuously or enable the touch screen to tap 
the desired trigger type and select it. 
 
 
Source Selection: 
Press Source to switch the trigger source and select CH1-CH4. For details, refer to 
descriptions in  "Trigger  Source".  The  current  trigger  source  is  displayed  at  the 
upper-right corner of the screen. 
Note: Only when we select the channel (that has been input with signals) as the 
trigger source, can we obtain a stable trigger.
