Figure 2–4: Trigger Controls
Read the following information to become familiar with the oscilloscope display
before doing the examples.
Figure 2–5 shows the display that results from the oscilloscope reset. There are
several important points to observe:
H The trigger level bar shows that the waveform is triggered at a level near
50% of its amplitude (from step 4).
H The trigger position indicator shows that the trigger position of the
waveform is located at the horizontal center of the graticule.
H The channel reference indicator shows the vertical position of channel 1
with no input signal. This indicator points to the ground level for the channel
when its vertical offset is set to 0 V in the vertical menu; when vertical offset
is not set to 0 V, it points to the vertical offset level.
