Using the Measurement Control Keys
(Run and Stop/Single)
Overview of the Measurement Control Keys
Two measurement control keys are provided on the Counter: Run and Stop/Single. In
general, the Run key provides repetitive measurements while the Stop/Single key
allows you to make single-shot measurements.
The Run key allows you to:
• put the Counter into a continuous measurement loop.
• exit any measurement after your selection of another measurement function.
• abort the current measurement by starting a new measurement (if already in Run
mode or in Single mode with a measurement in progress). This also clears any
statistics being processed.
The Stop/Single key allows you to:
• put the Counter into Single mode (if the Counter was in Run mode) where one
measurement is taken with each Stop/Single keypress. (Stats menu item ON
SINGLE should be set to 1.)
• put the Counter into Single mode (if the Counter was in Run mode) where N
measurements are taken with each Stop/Single keypress. (Stats menu item ON
SINGLE should be set to N.)
• stop (abort) the current measurement (if the Counter was in Single mode).
