To Control Measurement
Use these two keys to control the measurement of the Counter. The Run key provides
repetitive measurements, whereas the Stop/Single key allows you to make one
measurement.
With the 10 MHz signal still connected to CHANNEL 1, perform the following steps
so you can better understand the Run and Stop/Single operations.
The Counter is now making repetitive measurements (continuously making “live”
measurements).
The Counter stopped making measurements. The Gate annunciator is not lit. Hence,
pressing the Stop/Single key while the Counter is making measurements (in Run)
causes the Counter to stop after the measurement in progress is completed. If you
press the Stop/Single key again while the Counter is stopped, the Counter will make a
single measurement and then stop—the Gate annunciator will light one time,
momentarily.
If you press the Stop/Single key while the Counter is stopped and when the Stats
menu item ON SINGLE is set to N, the Counter will make N measurements and then
stop. This enables a set of statistics to be computed.
While the Counter is still stopped, perform the following step.
The Counter is making repetitive measurements again.
