Measurement indicator
When carrying out measurement continuously
• Starting measurement
Press the START key to start measurement. The measurement indicator will light up.
• Stopping measurement
Press the STOP key to stop measurement. The measurement indicator will go out.
When carrying out measurement only once
Press the SINGLE key. Measurement will stop automatically when measurement has been
carried out once. The measurement indicator will light up while measurement is in progress, and
will go out when measurement is complete.
Explanation
Continuous measurement
Once measurement is started, measurement will be carried out repeatedly until the STOP key is
pressed.
Single measurement
Measurement is carried out each time the SINGLE key is pressed.
Note
• Each series of processes (measurement, data processing and display) is called a block (see 1.5).
• If the START (or SINGLE) key is pressed while the current one-block measurement is in progress,
measured data acquired after the START (or SINGLE) key is pressed will be processed (i.e. displayed/
computed).
• If the STOP key is pressed while the current one-block measurement is in progress, the data measured
until the STOP key is pressed will be acquired and measurement will be stopped.
• An indicator is provided above each input terminal (CHA, CHB). The indicator should blink while a
signal is input to the corresponding input terminal. If the indicator does not blink, check whether the
trigger level is correct(see 6.1), whether the input cable is connected properly, or whether the signal is
present. If the indicator does not blink even if a correct signal is input to the terminal, the instrument
may be faulty. Contact your nearest YOKOGAWA representative listed on the rear cover of this manual.
