Slope Trigger
The slope trigger's logical condition is a transition between two voltage levels when the time of
the transition meets a condition. The transition time can be greater than or less than a specified
number, within a specified range of times, or outside of a specified range of times. The slope of
the waveform can be set to rising or falling. The following figure shows a positive slope time,
which is defined as the time difference between the two crossing points of trigger levels A and B
on the positive slope of the waveform.

To set the Slope Trigger:
1. Press the Setup button to enter the TRIGGER menu.
2. Press the Type softkey. Turn the Universal Knob to select Slope and push the knob to confirm.
Note: Pressing the Auto Setup button will set the trigger type to Edge and the slope to rising.
