in the figure below is displayed at the upper right corner of the screen.
Source Selection:
Press Source to select CH1 or CH2 as the Trigger Source. The current trigger

Slope Condition:
Press When to select the desired slope condition.
 : trigger when the positive slope time of the input signal is greater than
the specified time.
 : trigger when the positive slope time of the input signal is lower than
the specified time.
 : trigger when the positive slope time of the input signal is greater than
the specified lower limit of time and lower than the specified upper limit of time.
 : trigger when the negative slope time of the input signal is greater than
the specified time.
 : trigger when the negative slope time of the input signal is lower than
the specified time.
 : trigger when the negative slope time of the input signal is greater than
the specified lower limit of time and lower than the specified upper limit of time.
