Using Trigger Delay or Pre-trigger
You can begin to display the waveform some time before
or after the trigger point has been detected. Initially, you
have 2 divisions of pre-trigger view (negative delay).
To set the trigger delay, do the following:
5 Hold down to adjust the trigger
delay.
Observe that the trigger icon on the screen moves to
show the new trigger position. When the trigger position
moves left off of the screen, the trigger icon changes into
to indicate that you have selected a trigger delay.
Moving the trigger icon to the right on the display gives
you a pre-trigger view.
In case of a trigger delay, the status at the bottom of the
screen will change. For example:
This means that input A is used as the trigger source with
a positive slope. The 500.0 ms indicates the (positive)
delay between trigger point and waveform display.
When no trigger is found, the trigger parameters appear in
gray.
