How Can I Acquire Pretrigger Samples with NI-SCOPE?

Primary Software: Driver Software>>NI-SCOPE
Primary Software Version: 3.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
I am using the NI-SCOPE driver and I would like to acquire pretrigger samples, how can this be done?

Solution:
With NI-SCOPE, you can specify how many pretrigger samples you want to acquire using the reference position input of the ni_Scope Configure Horizontal Timing VI in LabVIEW, or the refPosition input of the ni_ScopeConfigureHorizontalTiming function in a text-based programming language.

The reference position (refPosition) input specifies the position of the Reference Event in the waveform record as a percentage of the record. This percentage can range from 0-100%, and will represent the number of pretrigger versus posttrigger points that are stored.

For example, a 0% reference position means that you will have the actual record length points stored after the trigger occurs, while the 100% reference position means that all the samples are stored before the trigger occurs. Likewise, a 50% reference position means that half of the record will be pretrigger samples and half will be posttrigger samples.
