Behavior. Use the trigger holdoff time to delay the trigger system for a specified amount of time between triggers, or click Auto to
let the instrument calculate the time for you. You can also set the holdoff to a Level that synchronizes the instrument with an
incoming signal to generate a stable display and avoid triggering on undesired events. When you click on the trigger window
controls, the trigger graphic shows the trigger sequence.
If E-mail on Event has already been set up, clicking E-mail on Trigger enables you to send e-mail on a trigger. If E-mail on Event
has not been set up, you must first click Setup, and then configure E-mail on Event in the setup control window.

Trigger holdoff
After a trigger event, the instrument will not accept another trigger event until after the holdoff value is exceeded. Holdoff is
usually specified in units of time, but other units may be used.
Trigger graphic
The trigger graphic displays a visual indicator of the trigger criteria. Depending on the trigger type, the instrument will update the
graphic as you define the trigger parameters.
Enable trigger position correction
From the Trig menu, select A Event (Main) Trigger setup; then open the Mode tab.
Overview. Trigger Position corrects for internal differences in the data and trigger paths to more accurately place triggers on
displayed waveforms. This feature can also use averaging to improve trigger placement on noisy signals.
Trigger Position Correction works for all pinpoint trigger types, except Pattern trigger: Edge, Glitch, Width, Timeout, Runt, State,
Setup and Hold, Transition, Window.
To use. To more accurately place triggers:
â–
Click Enhanced Triggering to more accurately place a trigger on the display.
â–
Click Optimized for Noisy Signals to more accurately place the trigger on a noisy signal (available only if Enhanced
Triggering is enabled.)
