Abstract
An oscilloscope having a displayed trigger indicator is provided in which triggering level, slope, and source information on displayed directly on the viewing screen adjacent corresponding waveforms. In a preferred embodiment, a vertical bar represents the triggering level range, and a marker or dot is superimposed thereon to indicate the trigger level. Slope polarity is also indicated, as is triggering source. These indicators permit the triggering point to be quickly selected and set while viewing them in relationship to corresponding waveforms, and are always on screen for convenient reference and waveform photography.
