• Val > Th secondary softkey to stop the sampling when the sampled value is
greater than the threshold value.
• Val < Th secondary softkey to stop the sampling when the sampled value is
less than the threshold value.
• |Val| > |Th| secondary softkey to stop the sampling when the absolute
sampled value is greater than the absolute threshold value.
• |Val| < |Th| secondary softkey to stop the sampling when the absolute
sampled value is less than the absolute threshold value.
7. In EVENT NO. field, enter a value which specifies the sampling to stop when
EVENT occurs EVENT NO. times.
