Explanation
The trigger position is used to set which section of the sampled data in the acquisition
memory to display on the screen.
Setting the trigger position
Set the trigger position in the range from 0 to 100%. The left end of the screen is 0%;
the right end of the screen is 100%.
When the trigger delay (described in the next section) is 0 s, the trigger point and
trigger position match.

Note
•
The trigger position can be changed even when the data acquisition is stopped. The new
trigger position takes effect when the data acquisition is started.
•
If the observation time is changed, the display range centers itself around the trigger position.
