Trigger Scope
The Trigger Scope specifies the scope of the triggering, whether it is for all
channels (default) or for the selected channel.
When this function is enabled with a value of "ACTive", only active channel
is triggered. When this function is enabled with a value of "ALL", all
channels of the E5071C are triggered.
For example, if Trigger Scope is set to "ACTive" when
is selected for all channels, a measurement channel is automatically
changed by switching over the active channel.

Trigger Mode
You can set the trigger mode for each channel independently. This allows
you to control the operation of each channel after a trigger signal is
detected by setting the channel's status with the trigger mode.
