2.2.4  Trig 
Sets the trigger type and other associated parameters. 
2.2.4.1  Trig Type 
The trig type can be Free Run, Video or External. In each type of Trig, there will be a 
related parameter icon shown on the left of screen such as: 
 
        
 
1.  Free Run   
This indicates all trigger conditions can be satisfied at any time and the analyzer 
generates trigger signals continuously. 
 
2.  Video 
This indicates a trigger signal will be generated when the system detects a video 
signal in which the voltage exceeds the specified video trigger level. This function 
is invalid in one of the three conditions which are non-zero span mode, RMS Avg 
detection and Voltage Avg detection.     
 
3.  External  
In this mode, an external signal (TTL signal) is input from the [TRIGGER IN] 
connector at the rear panel, of which the edge conditions should meet with the 
user settings to generate trigger signals. 
 
2.2.4.2  Trig Setup 
1.  Trigger Level

and the value of it after you finish the setting. The numeric keys, knob or 
direction keys is available for level modification, please refer to “Parameter
