Behavior. The Position control moves the trigger point within the acquired waveform.
The Horiz Delay and Ref Point controls only appear when the Delay Mode is On. Horiz Delay enables the instrument to look for a
trigger and then wait a specified time before acquiring data. This is useful when you know that the data you are interested in
occurs a set time after the trigger.
Use the Ref Point control to specify the amount of pretrigger data. The reference point is represented on the screen by a small
inverted triangle.
TIP. Use the dedicated Horizontal Delay button to turn the Horizontal Delay on and off. Or, use the Horiz/Acq menu Delay Mode
On command.
You can also toggle the Horizontal Delay on and off to quickly compare signal details at two different areas of interest, one near
the trigger location and the other centered at the delay time.
