3.3 Common Operations
76
When measuring using the trigger functions, the timing of starting measurement
is different than that of starting recording (data acquisition).
See "Measurement and Internal Operations" (p. 77)
To avoid operating mistakes when starting measurement, the behavior of the
START key can be modified. At factory shipping, the START key is set to start
measurement when it is pressed once.
See "13.2.1 Specifying Activation Conditions for the START Key" (p. 353)
While measuring, event marks can be inserted in recorded waveforms.
Event marks can then be searched after measurement.
See "8.15 Inserting and Searching for Event Marks on a Waveform" (p. 231)
Press once : recording stops at the end of the specified recording length.
Press twice : recording stops immediately. (Abort)
When Aborting
• Aborting while auto-saving
Data up to the moment of aborting is automatically saved.
• Aborting while awaiting a trigger
If at least one trigger event has occurred since starting, the last measured
waveform is displayed. However, if longer than one half of the maximum setta-
ble recording length, no waveform is displayed.
• Aborting while storing
Waveforms up to the moment of aborting are displayed.
An instrument setting can be changed to force measurements to be stopped by a
single press of the STOP key.
See "13.2.2 Setting the Method for Stopping Measurement with the STOP Key" (p. 354)
