When trigger timing is set to [Start] or to [Start/Stop], not only the
waveform following the trigger can be measured, but a specified
span of the waveform before triggering as well.
However, when trigger timing is set to
[Stop] , pre-trigger settings are
disabled.
Make these settings on the
[Trig & Alm] screen.
See:
"Key Setting Procedure" (p .130)
When You Want to Measure Data before Triggering (Pre-trigger)
T
[Pre-Trig]

Set the amount of time to record before each trigger
event.
To also measure the waveform after triggering, the recording
time must be set longer than the pre-trigger time.

(See "Pre-Trigger and Recording Times" below.)
The maximum settable

time is displayed.
Increment/decrement by 1
(when the recording interval is longer than 2 seconds,
increment/decrement by one recording interval)
Increment/decrement by 10
(when the recording interval is longer than 10 seconds,
increment/decrement by one recording interval)
The instrument pre-trigger time can be set up to 99 days. Logger Utility
settings of 100 days or more are reduced to 99 days when transferred to
the instrument.
Difference between [
Waiting for pre-trigger
] and [
Waiting for trigger
]
When measurement is started, the specified pre-trigger length is recorded. This period is indicat-
ed as the
[Waiting for pre-trigger] .
After the specified pre-trigger length has been recorded, the period indicated as [Waiting for trig-
ger] continues until a trigger occurs.
During the
[
Waiting for pre-trigger
]
interval, trigger criteria are ignored.
