Runt trigger is used to trigger pulses that pass one trigger level but fail to pass the
other one.

limit of the trigger level but fail to pass the upper limit of the trigger level; negative
runt pulses are defined as pulses that pass the upper limit of the trigger level but fail
to pass the lower limit of the trigger level, as shown in the figure below.
