When setting interval for sampling triggers, the time of the first trigger is adjusted to perform subsequent sampling at good timing.
Example of timing of trigger occurrence (when the unit of interval is second)
Time at which sampling trigger condition is met | Set interval | Time at which the 1st trigger occurs after adjustment | Time at which subsequent triggers occur |

Example of timing of trigger occurrence (when the unit of interval is minute)
Time at which sampling trigger condition is met | Set interval | Time at which the 1st trigger occurs after adjustment | Time at which subsequent triggers occur |
