Acquiring Waveforms
You can choose to acquire a single waveform or to acquire waveforms
continuously. If you want to acquire a single waveform, press the
SINGLE
front panel button. Each time you press the
SINGLE
front panel button, the
oscilloscope begins to acquire another waveform. After the oscilloscope
detects a trigger, it completes the acquisition and stops. If you want to
acquire waveforms continuously, press the
RUN/STOP
front panel button.
Press the button again to stop the acquisition.
When you start an acquisition, the oscilloscope goes through the following
steps:
1.
Acquires enough data to fill the portion of the waveform record to
the left of the trigger point (pre-trigger).
2.
Continues to acquire data while waiting for the trigger condition to
occur.
3.
Detects the trigger condition.
4.
Continues to acquire data until the waveform record is full.
5.
Displays the waveform.
