Characteristic Description
Source Sensitivity
Any input channel
±8 divisions from center of screen,
±8 divisions from 0 V when vertical LF reject trigger coupling
is selected
Aux In (External)
±8 V
Line Not applicable
Trigger level ranges
The line trigger level is fixed at about 50% of the line voltage.
This specification applies to logic and pulse thresholds.
For signals having rise and fall times 10 ns, the limits are as follows:
