3.3 Reference for Triggers
The trigger settings are located in the TRIGGER functional block on the front panel and
in the "Trigger" softkey menu.
3.3.1 TRIGGER Controls
The keys and the rotary knob in the TRIGGER functional block adjust the trigger and start
or stop acquisition.
RUN CONT
Starts and stops the continuous acquisition. A green light indicates a running acquisition.
A red light shows that acquisition is stopped.
The status is also shown at the right end of the information bar: "Run" or "Complete".
Remote command:
RUN Nx SINGLE
Starts a defined number of acquisitions. Press the key again to stop running acquisitions.
To set the number of acquisitions, press the ACQUISITION key and enter "Nx Single".
Remote command:
FORCE
If the acquisition is running in normal mode and no valid trigger occurs, forcing the trigger
provokes an immediate single acquisition. Thus you can confirm that a signal is available
and use the waveform display to determine how to trigger on it.
MODE
Toggles the trigger mode between Auto and Normal. The trigger mode determines the
behaviour of the instrument if no trigger occurs. The current setting is shown in the infor-
mation bar.
