TRIG DELAY  The trigger delay field allows the trigger point to be positioned 
anywhere in the acquisition window. A negative value will 
provide pre-trigger information on data leading up to the trigger 
event. The pre-trigger delay cannot exceed the length of the 
acquisition buffer. See paragraph 4.6.3.3 for details. A positive 
trigger delay positions the data window after the trigger event. 
Positive trigger delays can exceed the length of the acquisition 
buffer in which case the trigger event itself will not be in the 
buffer any more. The maximum value of the trigger delay is 
1000 ms. The default trigger delay value is 0.0 ms, which puts 
the trigger event at the beginning of the acquisition window. 
START  The START field is used to start a new acquisition run. To start 
an acquisition, place the cursor on the START field and press 
the ENTER key. Once the ENTER key is pressed, the display 
toggles to the data display mode selected in the VIEW field as 
soon as the selected trigger event occurs. To return to the 
HARMONICS/TRACE ANALYSIS menu, press the ENTER key 
while in the data display mode. 
  To change display modes without triggering a new acquisition, 
make the desired changes in the menu and move the cursor to 
the VIEW field. Once on the VIEW field, press the ENTER key. 
This will not trigger a new acquisition, which means the original 
data is retained.
