tive|NEGative
:TRIGger[:SEQuence]:EXTernal[1]:SLOPe?
This command activates the trigger condition that allows the
next sweep to start when the external voltage (connected to
EXT TRIG IN connector) passes through approximately 1.5
volts. The external trigger signal must be a 0 V to +5 V TTL
signal. This function only controls the trigger polarity (for
positive or negative- going signals).
Before you set the trigger slope, The external trigger source
must be selected using the command
:TRIGger[:SEQuence]:SOURce EXTernal.
