When you click the Capture button the data in the grid and the displays freeze and a waveform is
acquired. Once you captured the data, you can either turn off the exposure or you can resume
measuring by clicking the Start button (located to the left of the Capture button). If you turn off the
exposure, the meter recognizes this and moves on to the next row.
4.1.3.2 Free run
The free run mode has no trigger level, so it is ideally suited for measuring very low signals. In this mode,
the meter will start measuring even if there is no signal. Use the Start button to begin the measurement.
As soon as you pressed the Start button, Ocean will start to display measured data and you can use the
Capture button to save it at any time. Free run gives you access to an additional sensitivity range called
"Very high sensitivity" (see Meter Adjust for more information). A "Moving average" function is also
available to further stabilize the readings. Note: No waveform is available when you use Free run mode.
When Free run mode is used, you must start the measurement manually by clicking the Start button. To
use Free run mode:
1. When Free run is active the following is shown on the ribbon bar when you are on a new row:
2. Click Start when you are ready to begin measuring.
3. Click Capture when the measured values are stable and you want to capture the data.
4. When you click the Capture button the data in the grid and the displays freeze. If you want to keep
it, turn off exposure.
