To start and stop an acquisition
• When you press the Run/Stop key, it illuminates in green and
the oscilloscope is in continuous running mode.
The oscilloscope examines the input voltage at each probe,
and updates the display whenever the trigger conditions are
met. Trigger processing and screen update rate are optimized
based on the oscilloscope settings. The oscilloscope displays
multiple acquisitions of the same signal similar to the way an
analog oscilloscope displays waveforms.
• When you press the
Run/Stop
key again, it illuminates in red,
and the oscilloscope is stopped.
“Stop” is displayed in the trigger mode position in the status
line at the top of the display. You can pan and zoom the
stored waveform by turning the horizontal and vertical
control knobs.
• To manually run and stop 6000L models start the Remote
Front Panel (see
page 42 ) and select Run Control from the
Main Menu or press ctrl+R for run/stop or ctrl+S for single.
When the oscilloscope is running and you press the
Run/Stop
key, it will flash until the current acquisition is completed. If the
acquisition completes immediately, the
Run/Stop
key will not
flash.
At slower sweep speeds, you may not want to wait for the
acquisition to finish. Just press
Run/Stop again. The acquisition
will stop immediately and a partial waveform will be displayed.
You can display the results of multiple acquisitions using
infinite persistence. See
“Infinite persistence” on page 255.

To change the analog waveform intensity, turn the Intensity knob at the
lower-left corner of the front panel. The digital waveform intensity is not
adjustable.
