Explanation
The trigger is activated at specified time intervals from the specified time.
Setting the Trigger Source
Select Time.
Setting the Reference Date and Time for Activating Triggers
Select the date and time for activating the trigger.
Setting the Time Interval for Activating Triggers
The following intervals can be specified.
1 min, 2 min, 3 min, 4 min, 5 min, 6 min, 7 min, 8 min, 9 min, 10 min, 15 min, 20 min,
25 min, 30 min, 40 min, 45 min, 50 min, 1 hour, 2 hour, 3 hour, 4 hour, 5hour, 6 hour,
7 hour, 8 hour, 9 hour, 10 hour, 11 hour, 12 hour, 18 hour, and 24 hour
Trigger Position
Like the normal trigger, you can set the trigger position to observe the phenomenon
occurring around the specified time. Initially, the trigger position is set to 50% and
positioned at the center of the screen. To observe only the waveform after the trigger set
the trigger position to 0%. To observe only the waveform before the trigger set it to
100%.
Notes on the Timer Trigger
• Depending on the time interval setting, a trigger may occur while the waveform is
being acquired or during the pre-trigger period (a preparation period for observing the
waveform before the trigger time). In such cases, the trigger is ignored.
• If the trigger time is set to a time in the past, the trigger is activated when the current
time becomes
Specified time + time interval
×
N (where N is an integer).
• If you specify the acquisition count, the waveforms are acquired the specified number
of times. If it is set to infinite, the waveforms are acquired until the STOP key is
pressed. For the procedure in setting the acquisition count, see section 7.3.
• You can save the waveform to a floppy disk, Zip disk, PC card, or internal hard disk
(optional), output the waveform on the built-in printer, and do other operations by
using the action-on-trigger function.
