Notes about Action
How the instrument operates when the action setting is Print or Save Waveform
• The instrument operates based on the settings in the Print menu or FILE menu. If the auto naming feature
in the FILE menu is off, files are saved using sequence numbers (Numbering). If it is not off, the files are
saved using the specified method.
• If the instrument’s internal storage is being accessed from a PC while an action is being executed, the PC
may stop detecting the internal storage. If this happens, remove the USB cable connecting the PC to the
instrument, wait a few seconds, and reconnect the cable.
Points to Consider When Configuring Action-on-Trigger
• You cannot change settings while the action-on-trigger feature is active.
• Exponential averaging is used.
Notes about GO/NO-GO Determination
• The instrument displays the determination results on the screen (the total number of results and the
number of no-go results).
• During GO/NO-GO determination, only the Abort soft key and RUN/STOP are valid.
• The instrument automatically changes the trigger mode to Normal when it executes GO/NO-GO
determination.
Points to Consider when Setting the Action Setting to Print
• If Print To is set to Multi on the PRINT menu, you cannot execute the action.
Points to Consider When Setting the Action Setting to Save Waveform
• Do not set the storage device’s root folder as the save destination.
• If you set sequential numbering as the automatic naming method (using the FILE menu), as the number
of saved files increases, the amount of time required to save a file will also increase. Also, the maximum
number of files that can be saved using sequential numbering is 1000. To save more than 1000 files, set
the automatic naming function so that files are named by date.
• If you use the automatic naming function to save data to files, GO/NO-GO determination will stop if the
same file name exists in the same folder. To prevent this from happening, you can either create a new
empty folder before you start GO/NO-GO determination, or you can make sure that there are no files in the
destination folder.
• Up to 2500 files and folders can be displayed in the file list. If there are more than a total of 2500 files and
folders in a given folder, the file list for that folder will display only 2500 files and folders. There is no way to
set which files and folders are displayed.
Points to Consider When Setting the Action Setting to Send Mail
• The instrument operates based on the settings that you specified by pressing UTILITY and selecting
Network > Mail. You can attach screen images to emails.
• We recommend that you set a limit on the mail transmission number to avoid overloading the mail server.
You can set the upper limit of mail transmissions using Mail Count.
• If the specified number of mail transmissions is less than the number of specified actions, mail transmission
will stop after the specified number of transmissions. If the specified number of mail transmissions is
greater than the number of specified actions, mail transmission will stop after the specified number of
actions.
