Description of settings
Trigger Mode
The trigger mode determines the behavior of the instrument if no trigger occurs, and
also the number of acquired waveforms when a trigger occurs.
"Auto"
The instrument triggers repeatedly after a time interval if the trigger
conditions are not fulfilled. If a real trigger occurs, it takes prece-
dence. This mode helps to see the waveform even before the trigger
is set. Successive waveforms are not triggered at the same point of
the waveform.
"Normal"
The instrument acquires waveforms continuously, each time when a
trigger occurs. If no trigger occurs, no waveform is acquired and the
last acquired waveform is displayed. If no waveform was captured
before, nothing is displayed.
"Single"
When a trigger occurs, the instrument acquires one waveform and
stops the acquisition.
