1. Push the front-panel Advanced button.
2. In the Trigger control window, open the A Event or B Event tab
3. In the Trigger Type drop-down list, select Edge.
4. To force the instrument to immediately acquire one waveform record, even without a trigger event, click the Force Trigger
button.
TIP. Click Force Trigger to quickly confirm there is a signal present for the instrument to acquire. Then determine how to
trigger on the signal. For example, push LEVEL to set 50%, check the trigger source setting, and so on.
NOTE. The instrument acts on a Force Trigger even if it is selected before the end of pretrigger holdoff. However, the button
has no effect if the acquisition system is stopped.
