Trigger Mode and Slice Level <<For procedures, see section 4.4>>
When measuring the pulse width or phase difference of a single pulse, you can select
the level of the data signal at which to make the measurement (activate the trigger). Slice
level refers to the signal level used to binarize the RF signal.
Auto mode
The RF signal is binarized using the slice level that is detected by the auto slice function.
Slice level that is detected

Center value of the amplitude
Trigger is activated
(when the polarity or slope is set to )
Manual mode
The RF signal is binarized using a specified slice level.

Auto + manual mode
The RF signal is binarized using the slice level detected with the auto slice function
superimposed by a specified offset slice level. The offset level that is superimposed is
set separately from the slice level of the manual mode described above.
