 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 2, 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.
