Slope Trigger
Trigger on the positive or negative slope of the specified time.
Trigger Type:
Press Type to select “Slope”. At this point, the trigger setting information as shown
in the figure below is displayed at the upper right corner of the screen.
Source Selection:
Press Source to select CH1 to CH4 as the Trigger Source. The current trigger
source is displayed at the upper right corner of the screen.
Note: Select the channel with the signal input as the trigger source to obtain stable
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 Setting.

: trigger when the positive slope time of the input signal is lower than the
specified Time Setting.

: 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 Setting.

: trigger when the negative slope time of the input signal is lower than
the specified Time Setting.

: 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.
Time Setting:
Positive slope time is defined as the time difference between the two crossing points
of trigger level line A and B with the positive edge as shown in the figure below.
