Comments Changing Ranges: The present range setting will determine the maximum and minimum values that can be entered without error. Changing range will keep the level at the same percentage of the new range. For example, if level is set to 2.0 on the 4V range, the level is set to 8.0 if you change to the 16V range (50% of full range).

Setting Levels: Changing ranges will change an existing level to the same percent of full scale on the new range. For example, if an 8.0 level is set on the 16V range and the range is then changed to the 4V range, the level attempts to change to 2.0V (still 50%). However, for this range, this action causes an error message to be generated and the new level is set to the maximum or minimum the new range will support.

Trigger Slopes: TRIG:SLOPe specifies the direction of signal movement through which the level will trigger the digitizer. TRIG:SLOPe POSitive causes a trigger when the signal passes through the level and rises above the specified level. TRIG:SLOPe NEGative causes a trigger when the signal passes through the level and falls below the specified level.
