The following table indicates probing threshold voltages. Maximum Input
Threshold (critical if the control has been configured to fire on the falling
edge of the probe signal) indicates the voltage that the probe signal must
fall below to be considered as “fired”. Minimum Input Threshold (critical
if the control has been configured to fire on the rising edge of the probe
signal) indicates the voltage that the probe signal must rise above to be
considered as fired
Probe Thresholds

Minimum Input Threshold (probe circuit)
2.875 (min)
Maximum Input Threshold (probe circuit)
2.125V dc (max)
To avoid misfires use the threshold values from the above table to
determine the necessary signal voltage for steady state operation (probe not
fired). For probes configured to fire on the falling edge the steady state
voltage must remain above 2.875 volts. For probes configured to fire on
the rising edge the steady state voltage must remain below 2.125 volts.
