Taking a Measurement
Two types of measurements are available once the setup of the instrument has been completed
and are available from the Tool Bar or the Action pull-down menu.
• Single/Stop command (Action menu)
Use this command to acquire a single measurement in VISI. It is also used to stop a series of measurements
from being taken after the Run command is issued. This command affects the current tool only.
• Run command (Action menu)
Use this command to repetitively acquire new measurements in VISI. Measurements will be acquired until
either the Single/Stop command is issued or an error occurs. This command affects the current tool only.
As shown below, you may also display multiple windows to allow monitoring of more than
one channel.
Adding a view (
) opens a new (default) tool window associated with the active tool. There
may be many opened window views of one tool, but all views reflect any measurements or
settings for that tool.
To see both a measurement plot and summary page:
 Open a tool.
 Select Add from the View pull-down menu or click on the (New View) button.
 Select Summary from the View menu on the Dialog Bar.
