Starting Measurement
3.4 Starting Measurement
The instrument supports two types of measurement: continuous measurement and trigger
measurement. By default, the instrument is congured to perform continuous measurement (in the
RUN state).
Continuous measurement
Once the measurement cables have been connected to the measurement target, the instrument will
display measured values. Measurement data is saved in the instrument’s internal memory (p. 42).

Continuous measurement has stopped (the instrument is in
the STOP state). Either start continuous measurement (by
placing the instrument in the RUN state) or perform trigger
measurement to update the measured value.
Stopping continuous measurement
Press the [RUN/STOP]keywhilethe
instrument is in the RUN state.
The instrument will switch to the STOP
state.
The measured value will not be updated
(instead, it will be xed). If you wish to
update the measured value, either perform
trigger measurement (p. 38) by pressing
the [TRIG] key or resume continuous
measurement.
Starting continuous measurement
Press the [RUN/STOP]keywhilethe
instrument is in the STOP state.
The instrument will switch to the RUN state.
The measured value will be continuously
updated. Display values can be
automatically held in order to make it easier
to read measured values while operating in
the RUN state.
