9.2Trigger timing (part 1)

The pre-trigger time control and post-trigger delay control functions are described individually under "Triggering toolbar 57", but the interaction between the two controls is also important to understand. Here is a screen shot of a capture window 9 with post-trigger delay enabled:

First, notice that the trigger reference point () does not lie on the waveform. This is because the post-trigger delay is set to 3.3 ms, which means that the trigger occurred

3.3ms before the reference point, somewhere off the left-hand edge of the scope view. 14 The time axis is aligned so that the trigger reference point is at 3.3 ms.

Second, the pre-trigger delay is set to 30%, which forces the trigger reference point to appear 30% of the way across the scope view, measured from the left-hand edge.

Third, PicoScope often limits the trigger-to-reference-point delay to the total capture time. Once you have reached this limit, the program will not let you increase the pre- trigger delay, and if you increase the post-trigger delay, PicoScope will reduce the pre- trigger delay to stop the total exceeding the limit.
