To resume data acquisition, press the Run/Stop button again.



To capture and display single acquisition (whether the oscilloscope is running or stopped), tap the single

sequence key

for a single acquisition.

12.3 Select Sampling Mode

Open the main menu, tap the sampling mode option under “Sampling”, and choose among the four sampling

modes: normal, average, peak and envelope in the pop-up box.

The sampling modes of all channels are same. That is, if the sampling mode of any channel is changed, the

sampling mode of all channels is changed at the same time.

Normal sampling mode

Oscilloscope samples signal through equivalent time intervals to build waveform. When the time base of 20 ns or

faster is chosen, the oscilloscope automatically performs an interpolation algorithm that inserts difference point

between sampling points.
