By default the oscilloscope uses the edge trigger which
triggers the oscilloscope on the rising or falling edge of the
input signal when it crosses the trigger level (threshold).
Source
CH1
CH2
EXT
EXT/5
AC Line
Select the input source as the trigger signal.
CH1, CH2: No matter the waveform is displayed or not, a
certain channel will be triggered.
EXT: Does not display the trigger signal and allows a
trigger level range of +1.6V to -1.6V.
EXT/5: Same as EXT option, but attenuates the signal by
a factor of 5 and allows a trigger level range of +8V to -8V.
AC Line: Uses a signal derived from the power cord as the
trigger source.
Mode
Auto
Normal
Select a trigger mode.
By default, the oscilloscope uses the Auto mode. In this
mode, the oscilloscope is forced to trigger when it does
not detect a trigger within a certain amount of time based
on the SEC/DIV setting. The oscilloscope goes into the
scan mode at 80ms/div or slower time base settings.
In the Normal mode, the oscilloscope updates the display
only when it detects a valid trigger condition. New
waveforms are not displayed until they replace old ones.
Use this mode to just view valid triggered waveforms.
Only after the first trigger does the display appear.
Coupling
AC
DC
HF Reject
LF Reject
Select the components of the trigger signal applied to the
trigger circuitry.
AC: Blocks DC components and attenuates signals below
10Hz.
DC: Passes all components of the signal.
HF Reject: Attenuates the high-frequency components
above 80kHz.
LF Reject: Blocks DC components and attenuates the
low-frequency components below 8kHz.
NOTE: Trigger coupling only affects the signal passed through the trigger system. It does
not affect the bandwidth or coupling of the signal displayed on the screen.

Video
With Video highlighted, an NTSC, PAL or SECAM
standard video signal will be triggered. The trigger
coupling is preset to AC.
Source
CH1

EXT
EXT/5
Select the input source as the trigger signal. Ext and
Ext/5 use the signal applied to the EXT TRIG connector
as the source.
Polarity
Normal
Inverted
Normal: Triggers on the negative edge of the sync pulse.
Inverted: Triggers on the positive edge of the sync pulse.
