Advance Triggering 
z  Type Delay: The advance delay trigger system includes a start trigger signal 
and a 2nd trigger source (main trigger). The start trigger signal generated from 
external trigger. When using the advance trigger system, user can delay the 
acquisition of a waveform for a user-defined time or a user-defined number of 
delayed trigger events after a start trigger signal. Press the F2,  F3, and F4 
softkey to select three advance delay trigger settings: By Time, By Event, and 
TTL/ECL/USER.  
z  By Time: After the specified user-defined delay timer times out (from external 
trigger), the oscilloscope will triggers on the edge which been specified. Rotate 
the  VARIABLE knob to select the specific delay time. (The adjustable delay 
time range: 100ns~1.3ms). 
If the external trigger is applied, the true trigger will be applied by the CH1 (or 
CH2) trigger after the elapse of set time.

Figure 5-18: The start trigger signal is ignored during the set time interval (T); the 
start trigger signal caused first after elapse of the set time (T) becomes a trigger 
point.
