Controls Description
The Acquisition Status readouts, and lights on some instruments, indicate the state of the acquisition.
Arm indicates the instrument is filling the pretrigger portion of
the waveform record.
Ready indicates the instrument can accept a valid trigger event
and is waiting for the trigger event to occur.
Trig’d or Triggered indicate that instrument has recognized a
valid trigger and is filling the posttrigger portion of the
waveform.
When Arm, Ready, and Trig’d are not on, the acquisitions have
stopped.
When Ready and Trig’d are both on, the instrument has
recognized a valid trigger and is waiting for a delayed trigger.
When the instrument recognizes a delayed trigger, it will fill in
the posttrigger portion of the waveform.
