Trigger Offset (Remote Command Only) - Agilent Technologies X Series Manual

• ABOVe
If the trigger slope is positive, a trigger event is generated only if the signal characteristic of interest
crosses the trigger threshold (with positive slope) and then remains above the threshold for at least
the holdoff time. For negative slope, the trigger event is generated if the signal characteristic crosses
the threshold (with negative slope) after having been above the threshold for at least the holdoff time.
In either case, the trigger event is associated with the time the level was crossed.
• BELow
If the trigger slope is positive, a trigger event is generated only if the signal characteristic of interest
crosses the trigger threshold (with positive slope) after having been below the threshold for at least
the holdoff time. For negative slope, the trigger event is generated if the signal characteristic crosses
the threshold (with negative slope) and then remains below the threshold for at least the holdoff time.
In either case, the trigger event is associated with the time the level was crossed.

These are ESA commands for trigger offset that allowed you to use a positive
or negative delay when in zero span and in a Res BW >= 1 kHz. For ESA
compatibility, X-series analyzers keep track of this offset and add it to the
Trigger Delay for line, video or external whenever the value is sent to the
hardware, if in Zero Span and RBW >= 1 kHz.
