All events displayed left of the trigger point
▼
happened before the trigger
occurred, and these events are called pre-trigger information. You will find
this feature very useful because you can now see the events that led up to the
trigger point. Everything to the right of the trigger point
▼
is called
post-trigger information. The amount of delay range (pre-trigger and
post-trigger information) available depends on the sweep speed selected.
