Explanation
The difference between stopping the data acquisition using the START/STOP key
and the SHIFT+SINGLE START(ABORT) key
When the data acquisition is stopped using the START/STOP key, the acquisition
operation stops after acquiring the display record length of sampled data. Therefore,
numerical data can be measured, computed, and displayed and the waveform can be
displayed.
When the data acquisition is aborted using the SHIFT+SINGLE START(ABORT) key,
the acquisition stops immediately when the key is pressed. Therefore, numerical data
cannot be measured, computed, or displayed and the waveform cannot be displayed.
This condition can be avoided by dividing the record length. For information on
dividing the record length, see section 6.2, “Selecting the Record Length for Acquiring
Data.”
Conditions in which the START/STOP key and SINGLE START key are void
• During Remote mode (REMOTE indicator is lit).
• While printing.
• While accessing the medium.
Note
•
If the acquisition conditions are changed and the measurement is started, any previously
acquired data in the acquisition memory are cleared.
•
Attempting to access the storage medium while data acquisition in progress results in error.
•
When the acquisition is stopped, the averaging operation is also stopped.
•
When the acquisition is restarted, the averaging operation continues.
