On the DS1000 series oscilloscopes, as you turn the knob or pressing the
50% button, two things will happen on the display for a short time.
First, the trigger level value is displayed at the bottom-left of the screen. If the
trigger is DC coupled, it is displayed as a voltage value. If the trigger is AC
coupled or LF reject, it is displayed as a percentage of the trigger range.
Second, a line is displayed showing the location of the trigger level (as long as AC
coupling or low frequency reject are not selected).
