Sequence Mode Set Up

The Sequence dialog appears only when Sequence Mode sampling is selected. Use it to define the

number of fixed-size segments to be acquired.

1. From the menu bar, choose Timebase > Horizontal Setup..., then Sequence Sampling Mode.

2. On the Sequence tab under Acquisition Settings, enter the Number of Segments to acquire.

3. To stop acquisition in case no valid trigger event occurs within a certain timeframe, check the

Enable Timeout box and provide a Timeout value.

Note: While optional, Timeout ensures that the acquisition completes in a reasonable

amount of time and control is returned to the operator/controller without having to

manually stop the acquisition, making it especially useful for remote control applications.

4. Touch one of the front panel Trigger buttons to begin acquisition.

You can interrupt acquisition at any time by pressing the front panel Stop button. In this case, the

segments already acquired will be retained in memory.
