menu.
b. Navigate the MORE and TRIG-MODE menu selections.
c. To disable the external trigger mode (normal operation), select MAN/

b. Select IGNORE-TRIG to ignore retrigger attempts and allow the run-
ning waveforms to complete.
c. If RESTART-IMMEDIATELY is selected, another trigger will cause the
waveform to restart immediately when retriggered.
4. Set inactive value (value before and after triggered waveforms):
a. Navigate the MORE menu, then select INACTIVE-VAL.
b. Using the arrow keys, set the value between -1.0000 and +1.0000.
5. Arm and trigger the waveform:
