circuitry only. This does not affect the coupling of the signal being measured.
Power-on coupling = AC.
Default coupling = AC.
Remarks • Level triggering can be used for DC voltage, direct-sampling, and sub-sampling.
(The LEVEL command also affects the zero crossing threshold and the input
signal coupling for frequency and period measurements.) For DC voltage and
direct-sampling, level triggering can be used as the trigger event (TRIG LEVEL
command) or the sample event (NRDGS n, LEVEL command). For
sub-sampling, level triggering can be used for the sync source event only (SSRC
LEVEL command).
• Because of hysteresis, the actual level triggering point is the specified
percentage ±4% of the measurement range.
• Autozero should be disabled when using level triggering (AZERO OFF
command) for DC voltage measurements. (Autozero doesn't apply to direct- or
sub-sampling.)
• Query Command. The LEVEL? query command returns two responses
separated by a comma. The first response is the currently specified percentage.
The second response is the present coupling mode. Refer to "Query Commands"
near the front of this chapter for more information.

LFILTER
Level Filter. Enables or disables the level filter function. When enabled, the level
filter function connects a single pole low-pass filter circuit to the input of the
level-detection circuitry. The low-pass filter has a 3-dB point of 75 kHz and
prevents high frequency components from causing false triggers.
