HF Reject
Attenuates the high-frequency components above 80 kHz
LF Reject
Blocks the DC component and attenuates the low-frequency
components below 300 kHz
AC Blocks DC components and attenuates signals below 10 Hz
NOTE. Trigger coupling affects only the signal passed to the trigger system. It
does not affect the bandwidth or coupling of the signal displayed on the screen.
Pretrigger. The trigger position is typically set at the horizontal center of the
screen. In this case, you are able to view five divisions of pretrigger information.
Adjusting the Horizontal Position of the waveform allows you to see more or less
pretrigger information.
