The R/S A and R/S B run-stop keys provides front panel control over data
acquisition for each individual channel. When in SNGL measurement mode,
each R/S A@) key press causes one reading to be taken on the respective
channel. In CONT measurement mode, each R/S A@) key press toggles
continuous data acquisition on and off on the respective channel.
The activity annunciator (Figure 2b) flashes to indicate that readings are being
taken on the display channel as indicated in the upper righthand corner of the
display. The indicator
is
off when data acquisition on the displayed channel
has been stopped.
