Entering the Triggering Delay
A trigger delay allows the user to impose a time lag (positive or negative) between the
trigger event and the data displayed on screen. Specifying a positive delay has the affect
of zooming in on a section of the pulse occurring some time after the trigger event.
Specifying a negative delay allows the user to display data occurring immediately before
the trigger event.
