2. Click the Sequence tab.
3. Under Acquisition Settings, touch inside the Num Segments data
entry control and provide a value using your preferred input
control method - for more information regarding the touch screen
controls, refer to Dialog Area (on page 46).
Note: The number of segments you choose to display can be less
than the total number of segments in the waveform. For
example, in the pop-up images above, the number of display
segments is 10, but the total number of segments entered in the
timebase dialog's Num Segments control is 100.
4. Touch the Enable Timeout checkbox.
5. Touch inside the Timeout data entry control and provide a
timeout value.
Note: Use the sequence mode timeout to automatically interrupt the
sequence acquisition if the timeout value is exceeded without a valid
trigger. The timeout period accounts for instances when a Num
Segments miscount occurs for some reason and the oscilloscope waits
indefinitely for an unforthcoming segment. During that time, no
oscilloscope functions are accessible. By means of a timeout value,
however, the acquisition will be completed, the waveform displayed,
and control of the oscilloscope returned to the user after the timeout
has elapsed.
5. Under Display Settings, touch inside the Display mode control,
and select a sequence mode display from the pop-up menu.
6. Touch the SINGLE trigger front panel button.
Note: Once a single acquisition has started, you can interrupt
the acquisition at any time by pressing the SINGLE front panel
button a second time or by pressing the STOP front panel button.
In this case, the segments already acquired will be retained in
memory.
