IMPORTANT
• If the trigger function is [OFF], you can start recording by pressing the START key. (Free-run)
• If the trigger function is [ON], the instrument will remain in the “trigger standby” state until the
trigger condition is satised. Recording will start when the trigger condition is satised.
• The “trigger standby” interval will be shown on the monitor screen.
See “1.11 Checking Input Signals (Monitor Function)” (p. 77).
• During communications disruption, wireless modules cannot judge whether the trigger
conditions are satised. When the trigger conditions have been satised on completion of data
recovery following reestablish communications, the trigger will activate.
• When the stop trigger condition is satised during data recovery, data points after this point will
be regarded as [NO DATA].
See “11.14 Data Handling During Communications Disruption” (p. 409).
• While the pre-trigger setting is enabled, the recovered data cannot activate the trigger. In
addition, data acquired during the trigger standby state cannot be recovered.
• The next trigger will not be accepted while trigger processing remains in progress. Trigger
output will be active while trigger processing is in progress. For more information about trigger
output, see “Trigger output” (p. 230).
