Chapter 5 Specifying Criteria for Measurements
You can set recording to start and stop under specific criteria (start/stop triggers),
and to output alarm signals. You can also set specific times to start and stop
recording, using the Timer function.
Triggering is the process of controlling the start and stop of
re
cording by specific signals or conditions (criteria). When record-
ing is started or stopped by a specific signal, we say the trigger is
"applied" or "triggering occurs".
In this manual, indicates a "trigger point", as the time at which
a trigger is applied.
Criteria can be specified for the following event trigger types.
Set trigger criteria for individual channels on the Channel [CH] screen, and set trig-
ger and alarm settings for all channels on the [Trig & Alm] screen (p. 114).
