mode. Use Auto mode to let the acquisition automatically run in the
absence of a trigger. Use Normal mode when you want to see only
valid triggered waveforms (when you use this mode the oscilloscope
does not display a waveform until after the first trigger). Use Single
mode when you want the oscilloscope to acquire a single waveform.

8. Press the Setup option button to display the Trigger Setup menu.

You can use the Trigger Setup menu to select a coupling mode and

and LF Reject. Turn the Adjust front panel knob to set the Holdoff
value.

Alternative Triggering

The trigger signal comes from two vertical channels when you use
Alternative Triggering. Using this type of trigger, you can observe two
unrelated signals at the same time. For each signal, you can select different
trigger types, such as Edge, Pulse, Slope, or Video. Trigger information for
the two channels is displayed at the bottom right side of the display.

1. Press the Type option button and select Alternative.

2. Set up both triggers by pressing the Source option button and

selecting a Source - CH1 or CH2 (or CH3 or 4 on 4 channel models).
