Answers to your questions:
Can you set the digitizing current function on the DMM6500 to trigger on the rising edge of a user-input threshold current? Yes – you would have to use a trigger model and set up an analog trigger, rising edge mode. Please see pg. 8-19 (pdf pg 346) in the reference manual for information.

Would this waveform trigger generate a signal on the trigger output signal on the rear panel of the DMM6500? Not by default, but you could set up an external trigger out to occur in the trigger model. See pg 8-15 (pdf pg 342) for more information

What's the time delay between the waveform trigger and the rear panel trigger output? I unfortunately do not have the answer to this and am not sure it is specified.

Can the DMM be configured to perform this function using SCPI commands? Yes but indirectly. You would have to program the trigger model to wait for the analog trigger, then assert a notify to trigger out, then begin measurements. The trigger out event would be tied to the notify block.

Can the digitized buffer be read into a workstation using SCPI command? Yes – use the TRACe:DATA? query.

Yes the 2700-311A can be ordered. To order a part call 1-800-833-9200 opt 1.

1. Power on the monitor and place it in the Display Port mode
2. Connect the cable and power on the MSO58LP.

On some displays there is a race condition between the display and video card in the MSO58LP.

No, the TCP202A needs to use the 1103 probe power supply and a 50Ω terminator instead of the TPA-BNC adapter. This is due to the TCP202A being designed for a 50Ω termination instead of the MSO2kB 1MΩ termination.

If you switch to connecting the TCP202A to a 1103, then have a 50Ω termination between the 1103 and the scope it will resolve the issue. Note, you will need to manually configure the channel to support this setup

The TCA-1MEG is still available, there has been no limited supply or manufacturing end date announced.
