Trigger mode

In order to open the trigger mode dialog, click on the "Trigger mode" subbranch of the relevant data storage in the tree.

This dialog contains a number of settings relevant for data storage control. Different trigger modes for starting and stopping a data storage are available. You can specify parameters such as pre- and post-trigger time and the behavior of the data storage in specific situations.

All settings remain until the next change, even if the acquisition is stopped or the program is closed. Any change in the settings is saved to the current data storage configuration file at the time you press the <OK> button and exit the dialog.

Note
	The trigger itself does not affect the measurement. It only determines when and how the data is saved. Triggers only work when the measurement is running.
