Level
Sets Source , coupling, slope, and
level for the B trigge r. These settings
are independent of similar settings
for the A trigger. The table on Edge
triggering includes descriptions of
these menu item s. (See page 114.)
The trigger w ait time is the minimum time between the A and B triggers.
The trigger wait time is not the same as the h orizontal delay time. You
can use the horizontal delay function to delay acquisition relative to any
trigger event, whether it is fro m the A trigger alo ne or from a trig ger
setup that involves both the A and B triggers.
The next figures s h ow the wait-for-ti
me and the wait-for-events
triggering, and how they relate to the horizontal delay time.
