It is possible to record not only the waveform after the
trigger is applied but also the waveform before the
trigger is applied. The options that can be set differ
depending on the function.
This can be set on the [Trig] screen and [Wave+Trg]
display.

Select the [Trig] screen.
When measurement is started, the specified pre-trigger length is recorded. This period
is indicated as the [Waiting for pre-trigger]. After the specified pre-trigger length has
been recorded, the period indicated as [Waiting for trigger] continues until a trigger
occurs. During the [Waiting for pre-trigger] period, trigger events are not recognized
even when the trigger criteria are met.

îš„ Pre-Trigger vs. Recording Time (When Real-time Function)
Pressing the MONITOR key when either [Waiting for pre-trigger...] or [Waiting for
trigger..] is displayed allows you to confirm the waveform currently being input.
