6.4 Setting Combining Logic (AND/OR) for Multiple Trigger Sources

Chapter 6 Trigger Settings
Analog, logic, external and timer trigger criteria can be combined by AND/OR
logic to define complex trigger criteria.
Description When the trigger combining logic (Source (AND/OR)) is set to [AND]
If trigger criteria are already met when you press the START key, no triggering
occurs. Triggering occurs only after all trigger sources have ceased to meet the
criteria at once, and are subsequently met again.
Setting Example
To apply a trigger when the upslope (
↑) of the waveform crosses zero volts
Triggering occurs as follows in the AND and OR cases.

If both [Start] and [Stop] trigger timing criteria are combined, the simultaneous trigger
sources are logically ANDed.
