Command Groups
The three types
of triggers are edge, pulse width, and video. Edge triggering is the
default type. Edge triggering lets you a cquire a waveform when the signal passes
through a voltage level of your choosing. Pulse width triggering lets you trigger
on normal or aberrant pulses. Video triggering adds the capability of triggering on
video fields and lines.
