Starting and Stopping Waveform Acquisitions
Use the acquisition run controls to run and stop acquisitions or make a single
acquisition. The boxed area of the memory bar above the waveform display area
shows which portion of the channel's acquisition memory you are viewing.
• To start waveform acquisition, press [Run/Stop] or click Run .
The oscilloscope begins acquiring data. When the event that triggers the
oscilloscope is found (or, in the Auto sweep mode when a good amout of time
has elaped without the trigger event — see "Setting Up Triggers" on page 42),
the oscilloscope finishes acquiring data, updates the display, and then starts
another acquisition cycle.
• To stop waveform acquisition, press [Run/Stop] or click Stop . Data that was last
acquired remains on the screen.
• To make a single acquisition, press [Single] or click Single .
• You can also choose the Run, Stop, and Single commands from the Control
menu.
• To set up how you want the signals to be sampled, such as sampling rate and
mode, choose Setup > Acquisition... .
