Run Control
Press the Run/Stop or Single button on the front panel to run or stop the sampling
system of the scope.
When the Run/Stop b is green, the oscilloscope is running, that is, acquiring data
when trigger conditions are met. To stop acquiring data, press the Run/Stop button.
When stopped, the last acquired waveform is displayed.
When the Run/Stop button is red, data acquisition is stopped. Red "Stop" is
displayed next to the trademark logo in the status line at the top of the display. To
start acquiring data, press Run/Stop.
To capture and display a single acquisition (whether the oscilloscope is running or
stopped), press Single. The Single run control lets you view single- shot events
without subsequent waveform data overwriting the display. Use Single when you
want maximum memory depth for pan and zoom.
When you press Single, the display is cleared, the trigger mode is temporarily set to
Normal (to keep the oscilloscope from auto- triggering immediately), the trigger circuitry is
armed, the Single key is illuminated, and the oscilloscope waits until a user defined
trigger condition occurs before it displays a waveform.
When the oscilloscope triggers, the single acquisition is displayed and the oscilloscope is
stopped (the Run/Stop button is illuminated in red).
Press Single again to acquire another waveform.
