Ta ble 3: Triggering system (cont.)
Characteristic Description
Trigger Source Sensitivity
AC Same as D C Coupled limits for frequencies 50 Hz and
above
Noise Rej
Effective in Sample or Average Mode, > 10 mV/div to
5 V/div. Reduces DC Coupled trigger sensitivity by 2X.
HF Rej
Same as DC C oupled limits from DC to 7 kHz.
LF Ref Same as DC Coupled limits for frequencies above 300 kHz.

Since AC coupling is not done in the front end, use of a 10M probe does not affect the low frequency
corner.

Function, typical
Using a 10M probe will not affect the operation of this function.
Input Channel ±8 divisions from center screen
Ext ±1.6 V
Ext/5:
±8 V
Trigger Level
Ranges, typical
The settable resolution for Trigger Level is 0.02 division for an input channel source, 4 mV for Ext source,
and 20 mV for Ext/5 source.
This is the amount of deviation allowed between the level on the waveform at which triggering occurs and
the level selected for DC-coupled triggering signals
±(0.2 div + 5 mV) for signals within ±4 divisions from the center screen, having rise and fall times
of ≥ 20 ns.
Ext: ±(6% of setting + 40 mV) for signals less than ±800 mV
