1.5 Starting/Stopping Measurement
Starting a measurement
When you click the start icon, the instrument starts a measurement.
• Waveform data shown on the screen is cleared once the measurement starts.
• You can also start a measurement by inputting a signal into the external control terminal.
Refer to “12 Externally Controlling the Instrument” (p. 209).
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 overlaying or magnification setting.
To automatically save data during measurement
Refer to “Automatically saving waveform data” (p. 84).
Stopping the measurement
Clicking the stop icon once stops the measurement after the instrument has acquired the
waveforms with the specified recording length.
Click the stop icon once and click [OK] on the dialog box displayed to stop the measurement.
