Source CH1 CH2 Triggers on a channel whether or not the waveform is displayed. EXT EXT/5 AC Line 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. 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. 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 0V. Slope Mode Set up Auto Normal Single Trigger on Rising edge of the trigger signal. Trigger on Falling edge of the trigger signal. Trigger on Rising and Falling edge of the trigger signal.
