UTD2000 series DSO support: Edge, Pulse, Video and Alternative trigger;     
Edge Trigger: edge trigger mode refers to triggering of trigger threshold on the input 
signal edge.   
Pulse Width trigger: trigger produces when the pulse width of the trigger signal satisfies 
some set trigger >, < or = condition. 
Video Trigger: conduct field or line trigger for standard video signal (Only for UTD2025CL) 
These tree triggering can by active by pressing F1 button at the TRIG MENU .

Mode 
AUTO 
Set to automatic trigger. The DSO will continuously perform data acquisition 
without triggering signal. 
Normal 
Set to normal trigger. The DSO will only perform data acquisition when there is 
triggering signal.
