Edge Triggering
An
edge trigger
event occurs when the trigger source passes through a
specified voltage level in a specified direction (the trigger slope). You will likely
use edge triggering for most of your measurements.
You can select the edge source, coupling, slope, level, and mode (auto or
normal).
The Trigger readout shows some key trigger parameters (Figure 3-18).
