Triggers are used for automated saving of measurement sections during measurement
recording. Triggers for saving may be customized. This is possible with two different
methods.

"Measurement recording" mode.

After the defined post-trigger time, a section of the current measurement will automatically
be saved. This section contains all data to be saved within the defined pre- and post-trigger
