This is 100% pre-trigger, and it allows you to see the waveform leading
up to the point at which the trigger condition was met and the trigger
occurred. (The instrument offers up to the maximum record length of
points of pre-trigger information.) Post-trigger delay, on the other hand,
allows you to sample the waveform starting at the equivalent of 10,000
divisions after the event occurred.
On fast timebase settings, the maximum single-shot sampling rate is
used. But for slower timebases, the sampling rate is decreased and the
number of data samples maintained.
The relationship between sample rate, memory, and time can be simply
defined as:
Capture Interval = 1

Sample Rate

Sequence Sampling Mode
– Working with
Segments
Using Sequence Mode, thousands of trigger events can be stored as
segments into the oscilloscope's memory (the exact number depends on
oscilloscope model and memory options). This is ideal when capturing
many fast pulses in quick succession or when capturing few events
separated by long time periods. The instrument can capture complicated
sequences of events over large time intervals in fine detail, while
ignoring the uninteresting periods between the events. You can also
make time measurements between events on selected segments using
the full precision of the acquisition timebase.
Sequence mode offers a number of unique capabilities:
You can acquire up to four channels simultaneously.
You can minimize dead time between trigger events for
consecutive segments.
You can view time stamps for acquisitions.
You can zoom segments or used them as input to math functions.
