The Trigger menu is probably the most important menu when setting up the system
to acquire data. You can use the Trigger menu to create programs to control when
(or where) the trigger occurs and what sampled data to store in the acquisition
module. You can also use trigger libraries to load preconfigured trigger setups. For
the purposes of this tutorial, you will keep the Trigger menu simple.
26. Point the mouse at the button labeled TRIG and press the left button to
display the Trigger menu.
Notice that the Trigger menu displays the channel grouping as you defined in
the Channel menu (see Figure 2–13).
27. Select function key F6: ACCESS LIBRARY to display the default trigger
library.
Trigger libraries let you use preconfigured trigger setups. You can select any of
the choices that meet your needs and restore that setup. The trigger menu then
prompts you to enter information to complete the Trigger menu setup.
