4Press the Data softkey or turn the Entry knob to select the channel that
is connected to the SPI serial data line. The
DATA label for the source
channel is automatically set.
As you press the Data softkey (or rotate the Entry knob on mixed-signal

the channel you select is shown in the upper-right corner of the display next to
"SPI".
Adjust the trigger level for the selected analog channel by turning the Trigger
Level knob. Select Threshold in the D7 Thru D0 or D15 Thru D8 menu to set the
level for digital channels. The value of the trigger level or digital threshold is
