Descripti on
The typical sensitivities are as follows:
Trigger Source Sensitivity
AC Same as DC Co
upled limits for frequencies 50 Hz and above
NOISE REJ Effective in Sample or Average Mode, >10 mV/div to 5 V/div. Reduces DC Coupled trigger sensitivity by 2X.
HF REJ
Same as DC Coupled limits from DC to 7 KHz.

oupled limits for frequencies above 300 KHz.
The settable resolution for the trigger level is 0.02 division for an input channel source, 4 mV for an Ext source, and 20 mV for an

Pulse Width Trigger
Point
Equal: The oscilloscope triggers when the trailing edge of the pulse crosses the trigger level.
Not Equal: If the pulse is narrower than the specified width, the trigger point is the trailing edge. Otherwise, the oscilloscope triggers when
a pulse continues longer than the time specified as the Pulse Width.
Less than: The trigger point is the trailing edge.
Greater than (also called time-out trigger): The oscilloscope triggers when a pulse continues longer than the time specified as the
Pulse Width.
Pulse Width Range 33 ns ≤ width ≤ 10 sec
Pulse Width Resolution 16.5 ns or 1 part per thousand, whichever is larger
