NOTE
10.5 Pre-trigger
The pre-trigger function serves to record the waveform not only after but
also before triggering has occurred.
Memory Recorder, Recorder&Memory, and FFT Functions
In the memory recorder function, recorder&memory, and FFT Functions,
using the recording start point as 0% and the recording end point as 100%,
the trigger point can be specified in percent. When all trigger sources are set
to OFF, the pre-trigger setting is invalid.
Procedure
Screen: TRIGGER, Waveform display
1. Display the TRIGGER or Waveform display screen.
2. Move the flashing cursor to the pre-trigger item, as
shown in the figure on the left.
3. Use the Jog/Shuttle control or the function keys to
make a setting.
・
The selection window is not displayed on the
Waveform display screen.
・
The pre-trigger cannot be set to "-95%" at a
recording length of 160,000 DIV. In addition, if the
recording length is set to 160,000 DIV after the pre-
trigger is set to "-95%," the pre-trigger is
automatically reset to "0%."
・
When the pre-trigger is set, the trigger will not be registered for a certain
period after the start of measurement. (During this interval, "Pre-trigger
standby " is shown on the display.)
・
When the trigger can be registered, the indication "Waiting for trigger" is
shown on the display.
・
If the time axis range is set to "EXT." in memory recorder or FFT function,
the pre-trigger can not be set.
・
A stored Recorder & Memory waveform can be triggered simultaneously
with the start of the Recorder waveform, in which case the preset trigger
level for recording is ignored.
