2. PreVu: The oscilloscope is stopped and you have used the Horizontal or
Vertical Scale or Position knobs to change setting(s). In PreVu mode the
oscilloscope is showing a “preview” of what the next acquisition might look
like with the changed position or scale settings, based on the last acquired
waveform, and assuming that the same signal is acquired with the new
settings.
In other words, in PreVu mode the oscilloscope is reinterpreting the static
waveform record of the last acquisition in memory, resulting in a displayed
waveform that may not be accurate.
Do not use the Horizontal or Vertical Scale or Position knobs to examine a
stopped or single-acquired waveform; instead, use the Zoom controls and
Multipurpose knob.
The trigger status readout shows the trigger conditions:
■
Trig'd: Triggered
■
Auto: Acquiring untriggered data
■
PrTrig: Acquiring pretrigger data
■
Trig?: Waiting for trigger
3. The trigger position icon (T) shows where the trigger occurred in the
waveform record.
