d. If you choose a threshold trigger for the reference trigger on the DT9857 or DT9857E module, you can program
the threshold level as a value between ±10 V for a gain of 1 or ±1 V for a gain of 10, and any of the supported
analog input channels can be used as the threshold channel.
If you choose a threshold trigger as both the start trigger and the reference trigger, the threshold channel and
threshold level must be the same. The polarity of the trigger (positive or negative going) can be different for each
trigger source.
