Triggering with Horizontal Delay On
You can use horizontal delay when you want to acquire a waveform record that is separated from
the trigger event by a significant interval of time. The horizontal delay function can be used with
any trigger setup. You can turn horizontal delay on and off from the front panel, the
Horizontal/Acquisition control window, and many of the Trigger control windows. The following
figure compares the sequential trigger choices A Only, Trig After Time, and Trig on nth Event
when horizontal delay is on. Each illustration shows where pretrigger and posttrigger data is
acquired relative to the trigger event.
