RECTRIG
Definition Trigger Recording
Type Command
Description Triggers the recorder. RECORD must be set up before a
RECTRIG command is issued.
The recording mechanism tracks the value of a system
variable and starts the recording as soon as the value goes
higher or lower than the specified value. The recorder can
also record a specified number of points before the trigger
condition occurs.
Known Limitation: If a trigger occurs before the pre-trigger
buffer has been filled, the beginning of the recording will
have garbage data.
