tain period after measurement starts (while recording the specified pre-trigger
period).
• This period is indicated on the Status bar as [Pre-Trigger wait].

When a trigger event occurs during pre-trigger recording, the data actually recorded
may be shorter than the specified recording length. (In this case, the pre-trigger re-
cording length is shortened. The recording length after the trigger event is the speci-
fied recording length minus the specified pre-trigger period.)
