Click Optimized for Noisy Signals to m ore accurately place the trigger on a noisy signal (available
only if Enhanced Triggering is enabled.)
Click Force Trigger (see page 390) once to acquire a waveform record without a trigger event. Forcing
a trigger is useful when the input signal does not contain a valid trigger. The instrument recognizes
and acts upon the forced trigger even when you click the button before the end of the pretrigger
holdoff. The button has no effect when acquisitions are stopped.
Click Set 50% (see page 390) to set the trigger threshold level of the selected trigger channel to
50% of the amplitude of the channel.
