1.5 Starting/Stopping a Measurement
Starting a measurement
Pressing the
START
key starts a measurement.
• Waveforms shown on the screen are cleared once the measurement starts.
• You can also start a measurement by inputting a signal into the external control terminal.
See “15 Externally Controlling the Instrument” (p. 347).
Waveform display during measurement
In general, the waveforms appear after data with the specified recording length has been acquired.
When the measurement speed is relatively slow, the instrument displays waveforms while it is
acquiring the data.
However, even if a slow-speed range is set, the instrument may display waveforms after it has been
acquired the data of the whole waveform, depending on the overlay or magnification setting.
To save data automatically during measurement
When waveforms of the specified recording have been acquired, the waveform data is automatically
stored.
See “Automatically saving waveform data” (p. 102).
To save data during measurement in real time
The instrument can store data on a storage device during measurement in real time.
See “Real-time saving” (p. 106).
Stopping the measurement
Pressing the STOP key once stops the measurement after the waveforms of the specified recording
length have been acquired.
Pressing the STOP key twice stops the measurement immediately.
Operation on the waveform screen
When you operate a USB mouse connected to the instrument, the [START] and [STOP] buttons
appear at the bottom right of the screen.
You can use the mouse in the same manner as the START and STOP keys on the instrument.
