# Status

The trigger status in the trigger badge shows whether triggers are occurring.

In the Auto trigger sweep mode, the trigger status can show:

- Auto? — the trigger condition is not found (after the pre-trigger buffer has filled), and forced triggers and acquisitions are occurring.
- Auto — the trigger condition is found (or the pre-trigger buffer is being filled).

In the Trig'd trigger sweep mode, the trigger status can show:

- Trig'd? — the trigger condition is not found (after the pre-trigger buffer has filled), and no acquisitions are occurring.
- Trig'd — trigger condition is found (or pre-trigger buffer is being filled).

When the oscilloscope is not running, the trigger status shows Stop.
