2.8.1 Signal Source
You can use the Trigger Source options to select the signal that the oscilloscope uses
as a trigger. The source can be any signal connected to a channel BNC, to the EXT
TRIG BNC or the AC power line (available only with Edge triggers).
2.8.2 Trigger Type
The scopes have five trigger types: Edge, Video, Pulse, Slope, and Alternative.

Edge Trigger
Use Edge triggering to trigger on the edge of the oscilloscope input signal at the trigger
threshold.
Table 2-13 Edge Trigger function Menu:
Option Setting Explain
Type Edge With Edge highlighted, the rising or falling edge
of the input signal is used for the trigger.
CH1
CH2
CH3
CH4
Triggers on a channel whether or not the
waveform is displayed.
EXT Does not display the trigger signal; the Ext
option uses the signal connected to the EXT
TRIG front-panel BNC and allows a trigger level
range of -1.2V to +1.2V.
EXT/5 Same as Ext option, but attenuates the signal
by a factor of five, and allows a trigger level
range of +6V to -6V.This extends the trigger
level range.
Source
AC Line This selection uses a signal derived from the
power line as the trigger source; trigger
coupling is set to DC and the trigger level to 0
volts.
Slope
Trigger on Rising edge of the trigger signal.
Trigger on Falling edge of the trigger signal.
Trigger on Rising edge and Falling edge of the
trigger signal.
Mode Auto Use this mode to let the acquisition free-run in
the absence of a valid trigger; This mode allows
an untriggered, scanning waveform at 100
ms/div or slower time base settings.
