:FEED Commands

:[PERCent] <n>

This command is used to specify the percent of pre-trigger readings.

Usage

:TRACe:FEED:PRETrigger:AMOunt:[PERCent] <n>

:[PERCent]?

<n>

 0 to 100: percent of buffer for pre-trigger readings

 DEFault: 50 % of buffer for pre-trigger readings

 MINimum: 0 % of buffer for pre-trigger readings

 MAXimum: 100 % of buffer for pre-trigger readings

Details

This command is used to specify how much of the defined buffer (:POINts) is used to store pre-

triggered readings. When a pre-trigger store is started, readings are continuously stored in the buffer.

When the pre-trigger event occurs, post-trigger readings fill the part of the buffer that is not reserved

for pre-trigger readings.

For example, assume 25 % of a 100-point buffer is reserved for pre-trigger readings. When the pre-

trigger store is started, readings continuously fill the buffer. When the pre-trigger event occurs,

subsequent readings are stored starting at buffer location 26 and continue until buffer location 100 is

filled. Storage stops after buffer location 100 is filled. The result is 25 pre-trigger readings and 75

post-trigger readings.
