8-42. Testing the Trigger

The oscilloscope's ability to trigger on different waveforms can be tested using the wave
generator. When the wave generator is used, a square, sine, or triangle wave is
transmitted and the wave's output impedance, offset, and voltage can be varied in order
to test the triggering capability at different levels.
The wave generator should not be used for checking the accuracy of your
oscilloscope.

You may enter the equivalent frequency instead of the time marker value.
For example, instead of entering 200 ns, you may enter 5 MHz.

may need the magnification changed while calibrating in analog mode.
