Trigger Delay <Section 6.3>
Normally, the waveform around the trigger point is displayed. However, by setting a
trigger delay, you can display the waveform that is acquired a specified time after the
trigger point. The selectable range of trigger delay is 0 to 10 s.

Trigger Position <Section 6.2>
The trigger position specifies the position of the waveform captured in the acquisition
memory to be displayed on the screen. The point at which the trigger occurred is called
the trigger point. If the trigger delay described in the previous section is set to 0 s, the
trigger point and the trigger position match. By moving the trigger position, you can
observe the pretrigger section of the waveform before the trigger point.

Trigger Source, Trigger Slope, and Trigger Level <Sections 6.5 to 6.16>
Trigger Source
Trigger source refers to the target channel on which trigger conditions are specified. You
can set external trigger signals and commercial power supply as trigger sources.
Trigger Slope
Trigger slope defines how the trigger source is to cross a specified level for activating the
trigger. Select the trigger slope from (rising), (falling), and
(both rising and
falling).
Trigger Level
Trigger level refers to the voltage level that is used to determine the trigger slope (rising/
falling edge of the signal) or other items.
