z Arming triggers:
1. Select the Trigger icon.
2. Select Arm Triggers.
The trigger point lines change color to indicate an armed condition
(Figure 6-43).
All set PID triggers are armed simultaneously (if more that one is set). Once armed it
remains armed until you clear it or the trigger is activated.

About Activated Triggers
A trigger is activated (displays red flag) when a PID value meets an upper/lower
limit (trigger point).
When a trigger is activated:
• Data collection is briefly paused as the Scanner captures a recording of all
available PID data, and saves it as a data file.
• A gray cursor line is displayed to indicate the point at which the data was
paused or saved.
• An audible alarm is sounded
• A message displays indicating a data file was saved.
• Data collection continues.
• The activated PID trigger is disarmed. Note - if a different PID trigger is
activated subsequently, an additional data file will be recorded.
• A red cursor line is displayed on the graph of the PID with the activated trigger
to indicate where the trigger occurred. A green cursor line is displayed on all the
other PID graphs to indicate their relationship to where the trigger occurred.
