l'arrivée d'un front déclencheur


Explanation:
In terms of an electronic signal, 'edge' = 'front'; we don't need to know here (though it is mentioned elsewhere) whether or not this is a negative / falling edge or a positive / rising one

Note that I think here 'input' is best rendered as 'arrivée', since the text specifically states "Waits for a[n ...] input" — so it's not talking about the physical BNC input socket itself, but rather, the awaited incoming signal.
