Starting and Stopping Waveform Acquisitions
Use the acquisition run controls to run and stop acquisitions or make a single 
acquisition. The boxed area of the memory bar above the waveform display area 
shows which portion of the channel’s acquisition memory you are viewing. 
The [Run/Stop] key is lit green and the green Run button is highlighted when the 
oscilloscope is running (acquiring data). The [Run/Stop] key is red and the Stop 
button is highlighted when the acquisition is stopped. 
• To start waveform acquisition, press the [Run/Stop] key or click Run.
The oscilloscope begins acquiring data. When it receives a trigger signal, it 
finishes acquiring data, updates the display, and then starts another acquisition 
cycle if it is in Trig’d or Auto trigger mode.
• To stop waveform acquisition, press the [Run/Stop] key or click Stop. Whatever 
data was last acquired remains on the screen.
• To make a single acquisition, press the [Single] key or click Single.
• You can also click the Run, Stop, and Single commands from the Control menu.
• To set up how you want the signals to be sampled, such as sampling rate and 
mode, click Setup > Acquisition....
