Like
the Run key, the Autostore key also arms the trigger circuit. When
the trigger conditions are met, the oscilloscope triggers. Pressing the
Autostore key
again rearms the trigger circuit, but this time the display
is not erased.
All
the data points are retained on the display in half
bright with each trigger allowing you to easily compare a series of
single-shot events.
After you have acquired a single-shot event, pressing a front-panel key,
softkey, or changing a knob can erase the event from the display. If you
press the Stop key, the oscilloscope
will recover the event
and
restore
the oscilloscope settings.
