Level (Playback Trigger)

Level can be set for these playback trigger styles:

The playback trigger level that can be entered depends on the style of trigger selected, as follows:

Trigger style	Trigger Level Limits	Default
Channel	± percentage of range	0 V
Magnitude	0.0 to + percentage of range	10 mV

Playback Trigger parameters (including this one) affect the outcome of the time record when making a measurement.

The VSA remembers the values that are set for each trigger style . For example, set level to 10 mV for the Magnitude trigger and 2 V for Channel trigger. In this example, if the trigger style is Magnitude, the VSA uses 10 mV as the trigger level. If the trigger style is changed to Channel trigger, the VSA uses 2 V as the trigger level.

When the Display Ref Line checkbox is selected, the trigger level appears as a dotted line in the trace display for time data. In some cases, the trigger level is adjustable within the trace display by dragging the TRG LVL line to the desired voltage level. See Display Ref Line on Active Trace for more information.

If triggering is not behaving as expected, see Trigger Level and Delay Issues.
