You can change from the waiting for trigger mode to Hold mode by pressing the
F6 (Hold) button. The window will close and the system will change to Hold
mode.
Press Restart (F3) or Run (F6) to reopen the window and return to the waiting for
trigger mode.
When a trigger event occurs due to the Trigger Source signal meeting the trigger
condition, the popup window will show a block of capture of data from the trigger
source signal.
Figure 104. Trigger window with Accept or Reject options.
The display will depend on the type of signals in the pane.
If a time stream is displayed then the display will update continuously. You will
not notice the difference before or after trigger event for the time stream.
If a block signal is displayed, the block signal(s) in the background window will be
updated with the new content.
If a block signal in the frequency domain is displayed, it will not be updated
because you have not āacceptā the time signal yet.
Now you may do one of two things: Accept or Reject.
If you press the Accept button, the acquired block signals will be passed to the
signal analysis stage, usually windowing, FFT and spectral analysis. Then you can
continue to the Next frame of capture.
After you press the Next key, the system will go back to waiting in trigger mode.
