To start and stop waveform acquisition
The [Run/Stop] key is green when the oscilloscope is acquiring data, and red
when it is stopped.
• To start a waveform acquisition, press the [Run/Stop] key.
The oscilloscope begins acquiring data. When it receives a trigger signal, it
finishes acquiring data, updates the display, then starts another acquisition
cycle if it is in triggered (Trig’d) or auto trigger (Auto) mode.
• To stop waveform acquisition, press the [Run/Stop] key.
The oscilloscope stops acquiring data. Whatever data was last acquired
remains on the screen.
• To make a single acquisition, press the [Single] key.
The [Single] key is lit yellow while the acquisition takes place. When the single
acquisition is complete, the [Single]
key is unlit and the [Run/Stop] key turns
red.
