Above-High-Level Analog Triggering Mode

In inside-region analog triggering mode, the trigger is generated when

the signal value is between the

lowValue

and the

highValue.

Figure 3-6.

Inside-Region Analog Triggering Mode

In high-hysteresis analog triggering mode, the trigger is generated

when the signal value is greater than highValue, with the hysteresis

specified by lowValue.
