Then set up trigger parameters (for a positive event, positive slope) as follows:

•Press the [TRIGGER SETUP] softkey (F6)

•Press the [CHANNEL LEVEL] softkey (F1)

•Enter 5 then press the [PERCENT (%)] softkey (F4)

•Press the [SLOPE POS NEG] softkey (F5) until POS is highlighted.

Trigger Delay

Both channels should acquire data using the same pre-trigger delay. To set up a

0.01s pre-trigger condition, follow these steps:

•Press the [Trigger] hardkey.

•Press the [TRIGGER SETUP] softkey (F6)

•Press the [ALL CHANNELS] softkey (F8)

•Press the [CHANNEL * DELAY] softkey (F9)

•Enter -.01then press the [S] softkey (F1)

To start the data acquisition,

•Press the yellow [Start] hardkey.

The analyzer should show in highlighted text above the trace:
