Turn the Delay knob and notice that its value is displayed in the status line.
The Delay knob moves the main sweep horizontally, and it pauses at
0.00 s, mimicking a mechanical detent. At the top of the graticule is a
solid triangle (
▼ ) symbol and an open triangle ( ∇ ) symbol. The ▼
symbol indicates the trigger point and it moves in conjunction with the
Delay knob. The ∇ symbol indicates the time reference point. If the
time reference softkey is set to left, the ∇ is located one graticule in
from the left side of the display. If the time reference softkey is set to
center, the ∇ is located at the center of the display. The delay number
tells you how far the reference point ∇ is located from the trigger
point
▼.
All events displayed left of the trigger point
▼ happened before the
trigger occurred, and these events are called pretrigger information or
negative time. You will find this feature very useful because you can
now see the events that led up to the trigger point. Everything to the
right of the trigger point
▼ is called posttrigger information. The
amount of delay range (pretrigger and posttrigger information)
available is dependent on the sweep speed selected. See "Horizontal
System" in chapter 5, for more details.
