To use

Click Optimized for Noisy Signals to more accurately place the trigger on a noisy signal (available only if Enhanced

Click Force Trigger 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.
