The part of the record that occurs before the trigger is the pretrigger portion. The part that occurs after the trigger is the posttrigger
portion. Pretrigger data can help you troubleshoot. For example, to
fi
nd the cause of an unwanted glitch in your test circuit, you can
trigger on the glitch and make the pretrigger period large enough to capture data before the glitch. By analyzing what happens
before the glitch, you may uncover information that helps you
fi
nd the source of the glitch. Alternatively, to see what is happening in
your system as a result of the trigger event, make the posttrigger period large enough to capture data after the trigger.
