Stop Record
This trigger action is ideal for monitoring malfunctions in applications that occur after an unspecified time. For this application we recommend operating the scope in ring buffer mode with the Stop Record Trigger Action selected. This is the best way to use the options for pre- and post-trigger time. because with these options you can decide whether you want to see a time range before and after the trigger event in the recording. It is also possible to use only one of the two options. If you use the pre-trigger time, all valid trigger events before this time expires will be ignored.
This function works best with the scope options Auto Save and Restart Record.
