It seems to me then that the trigger level on a DSO simply sets the width of that hysteresis band in Fig 9. So,I guess in the case shown (rising edge trigger),no 2nd trigger event can occur until the signal has dropped below the hysteresis band, at which point it becomes eligible for retrigger assuming it then rises again above the trigger level at the top of the band.For falling triggers the band would be above the trigger level, rather than below. | |

The tektronix link says: An oscilloscope’s trigger sensitivity determines its ability to react to specified edge trigger conditions over a range of frequencies. This sounds suspiciously like hysteresis used in analog circuits, though I don't know if the two are related.
