Nth Edge Trigger (Option)

Trigger on the nth edge that appears after the specified idle time. For example, in the
waveform shown in the figure below, the instrument should trigger on the second
rising edge after the specified idle time (the time between two neighbouring rising
edges) and the idle time should be set to P<Idle Time<M. Wherein, M is the time
between the first rising edge and its previous rising edge and P is the maximum time
between the rising edges participate in the counting.
P<Idle Time<M
