Nth Edge Trigger
: The oscilloscope triggers on the Nth edge that appears on the
specified idle time.
The eight trigger modes in Single Trigger are described respectively as follows:
1. Edge Trigger
An edge trigger occurs on trigger level value of the specified edge of input signal.
Select Edge trigger mode to trigger on rising edge or falling edge.
In Edge Trigger mode, the trigger setting information is displayed on bottom right of
the screen, for example,
，
indicates that trigger type is edge,
trigger source is CH1, coupling is DC, and trigger level is 0.00mV.

Acquire waveform when trigger occurs
When trigger occurs, acquire one waveform then stop
100 ns - 10 s, turn the

button to move cursor to choose which digit to be set.
Set Holdoff time as default value (100 ns).
Trigger Level
: trigger level indicates vertical trig position of the channel, rotate trig
level knob upward and downward to move trigger level, during setting, an orange red
dotted line displays to show trig position, and the value of trigger level changes at the
right corner, after setting, dotted line disappears.
2. Video Trigger
Choose video trigger to trigger on fields or lines of NTSC, PAL or SECAM standard
video signals.
