1.
Set to 50%
Click “Utility->F6->f6->F6->Set to 50%” . The trigger level is set to the vertical midpoint between the peaks of the
trigger signal.
2.
Force Trigger
Used to complete an acquisition regardless of an adequate trigger signal. This button becomes useless if the
acquisition is already stopped.

By default, the oscilloscope uses the edge trigger which triggers the oscilloscope on the rising or
falling edge of the input signal when it crosses the trigger level (threshold).

AC Line
Select the input source as the trigger signal.
CH1, CH2: No matter the waveform is displayed or not, a certain channel will be triggered.
EXT: Does not display the trigger signal and allows a trigger level range of +1.6V to -1.6V.
EXT/5: Same as EXT option, but attenuates the signal by a factor of 5 and allows a trigger level
range of +8V to -8V.
AC Line: Uses a signal derived from the power cord as the trigger source.

Mode
Auto
Normal
Select a trigger mode.
By default, the oscilloscope uses the Auto mode. In this mode, the oscilloscope is forced to trigger
when it does not detect a trigger within a certain amount of time based on the SEC/DIV setting. The
oscilloscope goes into the scan mode at 80ms/div or slower time base settings.
In the Normal mode, the oscilloscope updates the display only when it detects a valid trigger
condition. New waveforms are not displayed until they replace old ones. Use this mode to just view
valid triggered waveforms. Only after the first trigger does the display appear.
