Trigger Delay

Once the trigger is detected, a collecting snapshot window opens (Figure 5-27).

Figure 5-27

When a snapshot is taken, the scan tool retrieves some of the buffered data, captures data at the
trigger point, and records additional dat a af ter the trigger point. This gives you a complete picture
of what was happening before the fact, what occurred at the trigger p oint, and what happ ened
after the fact.

The amount of data collected is specified by the % Af ter Trigger setting, found in Utilities >
T ool Setup > Save Data. You can manually stop the snapshot by pressing Y/a at any time during
the data collection.

Sample collecting snapshot window

Once data collection is finished, graphing on-screen stop s and the Pause butto n automatically
changes to the Play button. A vertical line now appears on each of the data graphs to indicate the
triggering point. The trigger line on the parameter that tr iggered the snap shot is a d if fer ent color
than those on the other graphs (Figure 5-28). This makes it easy to determine which parameter
caused the trigger.
