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. Figure 3--29 compares the sequential trigger choices A-Only, Trig
After Time, and Trig on n
th
Event when horizontal delay is on. Each illustration
shows where pretrigger and posttrigger data is acquired relative to the trigger
event.
