Trig Offset (Remote Command Only)
This command sets the trigger offset. Trigger offset refers to the specified time interval
before or after the trigger event from which data is to be written to the trace, and then
displayed. Ordinarily, the trigger offset value is zero, and trace data is displayed beginning at
the trigger event. A negative trigger offset value results in the display of trace data prior to
the trigger event. A positive trigger offset value results in an effective delay in the display of
trace data after the trigger event.
The trigger offset value used when the feature is enabled depends on the following
parameters:
• Nominal trigger offset value originally entered
• Specific instrument hardware in use
• Sweep time
• Number of sweep points
The effective trigger offset value are recalculated whenever any of these parameters
change.
State Saved: Saved in Instrument State.
Factory Preset: 0 − 500 ms
Range: Hardware specific; dependent upon the ADC being used, current state and the
number of sweep points.
Remote Command:
:TRIGger[:SEQuence]:OFFSet <time>
:TRIGger[:SEQuence]:OFFSet?
:TRIGger[:SEQuence]:OFFSet:STATe OFF|ON|0|1
:TRIGger[:SEQuence]:OFFSet:STATe?
Remote Command Notes:
Trigger offset can only be turned on when in zero span and the resolution bandwidth is
1 kHz or greater. Trigger offset is available for all trigger modes.
Example:
TRIG:OFFS 100 ms
TRIG:OFFS:STAT ON turns on the trigger offset.
