Turn the TRIGGER POSITION control counterclockwise.

 

One of the outstanding capabilities of a Digital Storage Oscilloscope is the ability to capture and display signal details before the trigger moment.

When you turn the TRIGGER POSITION control counterclockwise, the trigger point () is shifted to the right. This allows you to look at the signal before the trigger point. The pretrigger view is displayed in the bottom of the screen, and calibrated in divisions. The trigger point is indicated on the screen with an arrow. Pretrigger recording can be adjusted and is limited to one full screen, or -10 divisions.

-Turn the TRIGGER POSITION control clockwise.

When the control is rotated clockwise, delay is added. The trigger point shifts to the left. The delay can be adjusted to a maximum of1000 divisions, so that it is outside the screen. Positive trigger delay is indicated in seconds or in fractions of seconds.

-Set the delay to 0 with TRIGGER POSITION
