Horizontal Acquisition Window Considerations. The oscilloscope lets you define
the horizontal acquisition window, that is, set several parameters that determine
the segment of an incoming signal that becomes the waveform record when
acquired. (For background, read Waveform Record on page 3--31.) These
common parameters specify a horizontal acquisition window that is applied to all
channels in parallel. (Refer to Independent vs. Shared Window on page 3-- 20.)
These parameters, shown in Figure 3--5, are:
H Trigger Condition: Determines the point on the waveform that triggers the
oscilloscope.
H Horizontal Position: Determines the number of pretrigger and posttrigger
samples. samples before the trigger point are pretrigger samples and those
after the trigger point are posttrigger samples.
H Horizontal Delay: Determines the time from the trigger point to the
Horizontal Reference.
H Horizontal Scale and Waveform Record Length (number of samples):
Determines the horizontal size of the window relative to any waveform,
allowing you to scale it to contain a waveform edge, a cycle, or several
cycles.
