3.8 Starting and Stopping Waveform Acquisition
Starting and Stopping Waveform Acquisition
Press START/STOP to start or stop waveform acquisition.
The key is illuminated while the instrument is acquiring waveforms.
Waveform Acquisition and Indicators
• When the START/STOP key is illuminated, the instrument is acquiring waveforms. “Running”
appears in the lower left of the screen.
• When the START/STOP key is not illuminated, waveform acquisition is stopped. “Stopped” appears
in the lower left of the screen.
Operation during SD Recording
• When you start waveform acquisition, recording to the SD memory card starts at the same time.
• When you stop waveform acquisition, it will take some time for the post-processing of recording to
complete.
Note
• We recommend you test the operation of the SD memory card once before performing SD recording.
• When you want to save important data, format the SD memory card first.
• If files are created and deleted repeatedly from the SD memory card, file access may slow down. If this
occurs, format the SD memory card, or replace with a new one.
Operation When the Acquisition Mode Is Set to Averaging
• Averaging stops when you stop waveform acquisition.
• If you restart waveform acquisition again, averaging starts from the beginning.
START and STOP Operations during Accumulation
• Accumulation stops when you stop acquisition.
• If you restart waveform acquisition, past waveforms are cleared, and accumulation starts over.
Note
You can use the snapshot feature to retain the displayed waveform on the screen. This feature allows you to
retain the waveform that you have taken a snapshot of on the screen while the instrument continues signal
acquisition.
