adjust the trigger level. You can also click or tap the Level input field to set the
value with the pop-up numeric keypad. During the adjustment, a trigger level

the trigger level. You can also click or tap the Level input field to set the value

For this trigger source, only the variation of the trigger level value is displayed

trigger level lines on the screen.
To better trigger the waveforms, for a trigger with a single level, you can directly click
or tap 50% in the menu or press the trigger level knob to make the level move to the
middle of the waveform. However, for a trigger with two levels (e.g. Slope trigger,
Runt trigger, Window trigger), you need to click or tap 90% for Level A and 10% for
Level B to make the level move within the range of the waveform amplitude.
