Setting Description
Slope The slope control determines whether the spectrum analyzer fi nds the trigger point on
the rising or the falling edge of the trigger input signal.
Level The Level setting determines the signal amplitude that will be recognized as a trigger
event.

Source = Trig 2 In (rear).
Setting Description
Slope The slope control determines whether the spectrum analyzer fi nds the trigger point on
the rising or the falling edge of the trigger input signal. The trigger level is automatically
set at a TTL level.
xxx
Source = Gated.
When the Source is set to gated, the front panel Trig In source is monitored for the trigger
event and a signal on the rear panel Gate / Trig 2 In is used to determine when a trigger event is valid.
A transition through the selected Level on the TrigIn signal input (selectable as rising or falling edge)
will only be recognized as a trigger event if it occurs while the Trig2 signal is True (selectable as High or
Low). Note that only edges are trigger events, not stable signal levels.
Setting Description

Level The Level setting determines the signal amplitude that will be recognized as a trigger
event.
while Trig 2 In (rear) Speci fi es whether a High or Low signal at the Trig 2 In input (rear panel) allows a trigger
event on the Trig In (front) input to be accepted.
