To use Edge triggering
The Edge trigger type identifies a trigger by looking for a
specified edge (slope) and voltage level on a waveform. You can
define the trigger source and slope in this menu. The slope can
be set to rising edge, falling edge, or alternating edges on all
sources except Line. The trigger type, source, and level are
displayed in the upper-right corner of the display.
1 Press the Edge key in the Trigger section of the front panel to
display the Edge trigger menu.
2 Press the Slope softkey and select rising edge, falling edge, or
alternating edges. The selected slope is displayed in the
upper-right corner of the display.
3 Select the trigger source.

NOTE
Alternating edge mode is useful when you want to trigger on both edges of
a clock (for example, DDR signals). All modes operate up to the bandwidth
of the oscilloscope.
