Please refer to descriptions in "Trigger LEVEL/Threshold Level". The current
trigger level/threshold level value is displayed at the upper-right corner of the screen.
Pulse Trigger
Triggers on the positive or negative pulse with a specified width. In this mode, the
oscilloscope will trigger when the pulse width of the input signal satisfies the
specified pulse width condition.
In this oscilloscope, positive pulse width is defined as the time difference between
the two crossing points of the trigger level and positive pulse; negative pulse width is
defined as the time difference between the two crossing points of the trigger level
and negative pulse, as shown in the figure below.
