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.
