Quick Reference
Running, Stopping, and Making Single Acquisitions (Run Control)
To display the results of multiple acquisitions, use persistence. See
Single vs. Running
and Record Length
The maximum data record length is greater for a single acquisition than when the
oscilloscope is running (or when the oscilloscope is stopped after running):
•
Single
— Single acquisitions always use the maximum memory available — at
least twice as much memory as acquisitions captured when running — and the
oscilloscope stores at least twice as many samples. At slower time/div settings,
because there is more memory available for a single acquisition, the acquisition
has a higher effective sample rate.
•
Running
— When running (versus taking a single acquisition), the memory is
divided in half. This lets the acquisition system acquire one record while
processing the previous acquisition, dramatically improving the number of
waveforms per second processed by the oscilloscope. When running, a high
waveform update rate provides the best representation of your input signal.
To acquire data with the longest possible record length, press the
[Single]
key.
