Starting and Stopping Waveform Acquisitions
Use the acquisition run controls to run and stop acquisitions or make a
single acquisition. The highlighted area of the memory bar above the
waveform display area shows how much of acquisition memory is
displayed on the screen.
The [Run/Stop] key is lit green and the blue- green Run button is
highlighted when the oscilloscope is running (acquiring data). The
[Run/Stop] key is red and the Stop button is highlighted when the
acquisition is stopped.
• To start waveform acquisition, press the [Run/Stop] key or click the Run
button.
The oscilloscope begins acquiring data. When it receives a trigger signal,
it finishes acquiring data, updates the display, and then starts another
acquisition cycle if it is in Trig’d or Auto trigger mode.
• To stop waveform acquisition, press the [Run/Stop] key or click the Stop
button.
The oscilloscope stops acquiring data. Whatever data was last acquired
remains on the screen.
• To make a single acquisition, press the [Single] key or click the Single
button.
The [Single] key is lit yellow and the Single button is highlighted while
the acquisition takes place.
• You can also choose the Run, Stop, and Single commands from the
Control menu.
• To set up how you want the signals to be sampled, such as sampling
rate and mode, choose Setup > Acquisition.
