Trigger Button
When the trigger button is pressed the oscilloscope is
enabled. If it is manual mode the controller immediately
commences recording data. If it is in program mode then
it waits until it encounters a trigger command in a running
program.
After the trigger button has been pressed, the text on the button changes to
‘Halt’ whilst the oscilloscope is running. If the oscilloscope is in the one-shot
mode, then after the data has been recorded and plotted on the display, the trig-
ger button text returns to ‘Trigger’, indicating that the operation has been com-
pleted.The oscilloscope can be halted at any time when it is running, and the
trigger button is displaying the ‘Halt’ text, by pressing this button.
Reset Oscilloscope Configuration
The current scope configuration (the state of all the con-
trols) is saved when the scope window is closed, and
retrieved when the scope window is next opened. This
removes the need to re-set each individual control every
time the scope window is opened.
The configuration reset button (located at the bottom right hand side of the
scope control panel) can be pressed to reset the scope configuration, clearing all
controls to their default values.
Status Indicator
The status indicator is located in between the options and configuration reset
buttons. This lamp changes colour according to the current status of the scope,
as follows:
Red
oscilloscope stopped.
Black
polling controller waiting for it to complete recording the required
data.
Yellow
retrieving data from the controller.
