Claim:
1. A method for displaying, on a digital oscilloscope, triggered waveform records or triggered waveform segments of a single record along a sequence of primary waveform timelines that are offset along a secondary timeline, the method comprising: receiving and digitizing an analog waveform signal with an analog to digital converter; displaying, on a display section of the digital oscilloscope and along a first primary waveform timeline, a first waveform record or segment of the digitized waveform signal, comprising a first non-periodic triggering event; displaying, on the display section of the digital oscilloscope and along a second primary waveform timeline, a next waveform record or segment of the digitized waveform signal, comprising a next non-periodic triggering event, the next non-periodic triggering event occurring a non-zero elapsed time period after the first non-periodic triggering event, the second primary waveform timeline being substantially parallel to the first primary waveform timeline, the next non-periodic triggering event further being aligned with the first non-periodic triggering event on a secondary timeline transverse to the first primary waveform timeline and the second primary waveform timeline; and offsetting the second primary waveform timeline vertically and horizontally from the first primary waveform timeline and along the secondary timeline by an amount corresponding to the elapsed time period.
