  "term": "Pretrigger",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A function in a digital storage oscilloscope or data acquisition system that captures and displays the signal waveform from a period of time immediately preceding the trigger event. This capability allows an operator to analyze the conditions or anomalies that led up to the event being investigated, such as a voltage spike or logic fault. The amount of pretrigger data captured is determined by the instrument's memory depth and the user-defined settings for the acquisition buffer.",
