The Trigger Menu

Sample Period Field

End When the trigger position is set to End, the end point of available
memory is positioned relative to the trigger point. This results in
maximum pretrigger data and minimum posttrigger data.
User Defined When the trigger position is set to User Defined, a Post
Store field appears. Use this field to set the trigger position any where
between 0% and 99%. As the Post Store is adjusted, the blue graphic bar
indicates the trigger position.
Delay Use the Delay field to delay the start of acquisition storage after
the trigger. The range of the delay time is affected by the sample period
but could range between 16ns to 8ks.
Sample Period Field
The Sample Period field is used to set the time period between data samples.
Every time a new sample is taken, the analyzer will see updated
measurement data.

Branches Taken Stored / Not Stored Field

The Branches Taken field is a toggle field which sets the analyzer to store, or
not to store, the resource term that sent the analyzer off on a branch.
As the analyzer steps through the sequence instructions, it may be
repeatedly sent off to secondary branches because the first resource term
was bypassed (false), and the second "Else" resource term is qualified (true).
With Branches Taken set to Stored, both the state data values that caused
the secondary branches and the secondary branch is stored into memory.
