To force a trigger
To make an acquisition even if no valid trigger has been found:
1 Press [Force].
Forcing a trigger is useful, for example, when you want to display the DC
voltage of a level signal.
The [Force] key has no effect if the acquisition is already stopped.
When the oscilloscope’s front panel is locked by a remote program (shown
by a red “Rmt” on the upper- right part of the display), pressing the [Force]
key returns the front panel to Local control.
