Run Key
The Run key causes the oscilloscope to resume acquiring data. If the
oscilloscope is stopped, it starts acquiring data on the next trigger event. If
the oscilloscope is already in the run mode, it continues to acquire data on
successive trigger events.
If pressing the Run key does not cause waveform data to display on the
screen, try the following hints:
•
Press the Autoscale key (unless the signal is single-shot).
•
Make sure that a signal is connected to one of the channels and that the
display for that channel is turned on.
•
Make sure that the offset does not have the trace clipped off the display.
•
Check the trigger setup conditions to make sure that the trigger conditions
are valid for the signal.
•
Set the trigger sweep mode to Auto. Auto sweep forces the oscilloscope to
trigger, which may allow you to see enough of the signal so that you can
set up the front panel properly.
