trigger position in the acquisition.
3. The expansion point icon (an orange
triangle)
shows the point that the
horizontal scale expands and
compresses around.
To make the
expansion point the same
as the trigger point, push Acquire and
set the lower-menu Delay item to Off.
4. The waveform record view shows the
trigger
location relative to the waveform
record. The line color corresponds to the
selected waveform color.
The brac
kets show the part of the record
currently displayed on the screen.
5. The tri
gger status readout shows trigger
status. Status conditions are:
PrTrig: Acquiring pretrigger data
Trig?: Waiting for trigger
Trig’d: Triggered
Auto: Acquiring untriggered data
6. The c
ursor readout shows time,
amplitude, and delta (Δ) values for each
cursor.
For
FFT measurements, it shows
frequency and magnitude.
For serial buses, the readout shows the
dec
oded values.
