Trigger Level: The voltage level the Digital Storage Oscilloscope (DSO) looks for to begin drawing a trace.
Trigger Source: The channel (CH1, CH2) that the DSO is looking at for the trigger level.
Trigger Slope: Determines if the trace begins when the voltage is rising or falling as it crosses the trigger level.
Voltage Scale: The amount of voltage each vertical division represents.
Time base: The amount of time each horizontal division represents.
DC coupling: Allows both AC and DC voltages to be displayed.
AC coupling: Allows only the AC voltage component of a signal to be displayed. It filters out DC voltage (a capacitor is used to filter out the DC voltage).
Ground coupling: Allows you to set the zero voltage position on the DSO.
Auto trigger: Allows a scope to begin drawing its trace even if there isn't a trigger set manually.

- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
