External 2
Press Input/Output  Ext Trigger2 to select "In". Then, an external signal is
input via the [TRIGGER IN/OUT] connector on the rear panel. When the signal
meets the set trigger conditions, trigger signals are generated.
Note: The input signal frequency on the external trigger interface should not be
greater than 1 MHz.
1. Slope
Sets the trigger polarity for External Trigger 2. It is set positive to trigger on a
rising edge and negative to trigger on a falling edge.
2. Delay State
Enables or disables the trigger delay function. After the trigger delay function is
enabled, you can set the trigger delay time.
3. Delay Time
Sets the time interval during which the instrument waits to start the sweep
operation after the trigger signal that meets the trigger conditions is generated.
You can use the numeric keys, the knob, or arrow keys to modify this parameter;
you can also use the touch screen to modify the parameter.

: A negative trigger delay time indicates a pre-trigger.
Power (Time)
A trigger signal will be generated when the system detects that the IF signal power
exceeds the set IF power.
1. Delay State
Enables or disables the trigger delay function. After the trigger delay function is
enabled, you can set the trigger delay time.
