Method 1: Enable the touch screen and drag the trigger level line to adjust the 
trigger level. For details about the operations, refer to descriptions in "Drag" 
section. 
Method 2: Enable the touch screen function, and tap the trigger setting label 
  at the upper-right corner of the screen. The following window is 
displayed. Tap the    icon at the right side of the Level input field to 
decrease or increase the trigger level. You can also tap the Level input field to 
input a specific value with the displayed numeric keypad.

The following is the schematic diagram of the acquisition memory. To easily 
understand the trigger event, we classify the acquisition memory into the pre-trigger 
buffer and post-trigger buffer.

After the system runs, the oscilloscope operates by first filling the pre-trigger buffer. 
It starts searching for a trigger after the pre-trigger buffer is filled. While searching 
for the trigger, the data sampled will still be transmitted to the pre-trigger buffer (the 
new data will continuously overwrite the previous data). When a trigger is found, the 
pre-trigger buffer contains the data acquired just before the trigger. Then, the 
oscilloscope will fill the post-trigger buffer and display the data in the acquisition 
memory. If the acquisition is activated via RUN/STOP, the oscilloscope will repeat 
this process; if the acquisition is activated via SINGLE, the oscilloscope will stop 
after finishing a single acquisition (you can pan and zoom the currently displayed 
waveform).
