Edge Trigger 
 
Triggers on the trigger level/threshold level of the specified edge of the input signal. 
 
Trigger Type: 
Press Menu → Type in the trigger control area (Trigger) on the front panel and 
rotate the multifunction knob    to select "Edge", then press down the knob to 
select it. You can also press Type continuously or enable the touch screen to tap the 
desired trigger type and select it. At this time, the current trigger setting information 
(including trigger type, trigger source, and trigger level/threshold level) is displayed 
at the upper-right corner of the screen, as shown in the figure below. The 
information will change based on the trigger settings. 
 
 
Source Selection: 
Press Source to open the signal source list and select CH1-CH4, AC Line, EXT, or 
D0-D15. 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. 
 
Edge Type: 
Press Slope, and then rotate the multifunction knob    to select the input signal 
the edge on which the oscilloscope triggers. Then, the current edge type is displayed 
at the upper-right corner of the screen. You can also press the Slope key 
continuously or enable the touch screen to select the desired edge type. 
⚫  Rising: triggers on the rising edge of the input signal when the voltage level 
meets the specified trigger level. 
⚫  Falling: triggers on the falling edge of the input signal when the voltage level 
meets the specified trigger level. 
⚫  Either: triggers  on  the rising  or  falling  edge of  the  input  signal  when  the 
voltage level meets the preset trigger level. 
 
Trigger Mode: 
In the trigger control area (Trigger) on the front panel, press Mode to quickly switch 
the current trigger mode. For details, refer to descriptions in "Trigger Mode". 
 
Trigger Parameter Setting: 
Set  the  trigger  parameters  (trigger  coupling,  trigger  holdoff,  and  noise  rejection) 
under this  trigger  type. For  details,  refer  to  descriptions  in  "Trigger Coupling", 
"Trigger Holdoff", and "Noise Rejection". 
 
Trigger LEVEL/Threshold Level: 
Rotate the Trigger    LEVEL knob to adjust the trigger level or threshold level.
