The history saves all acquisitions that fulfill the trigger condition that is set during acqui-
sition (zone trigger condition, or another trigger condition). If "Apply zone trigger to his-
tory" is disabled, the history "Play" reads and displays all saved acquisitions from the
memory.
If the setting is enabled, the zone trigger is applied to the history replay. "Play" displays
only acquisitions that fulfill the zone trigger condition.
Using "Apply zone trigger to history", you can:
●
Acquire waveforms with high speed and filter them afterwards in the history.
●
Change the zone trigger condition after acquisition.
