3.8 Starting and Stopping Waveform Acquisition
Procedure
Starting and Stopping Waveform Acquisition (RUN/STOP)
1.
Press the RUN/STOP key.
• The RUN/STOP key illuminates, and waveform acquisition starts. The acquired waveforms are
displayed.
• If you set the record length to a value that allows only one waveform to be acquired, pressing the RUN/
STOP key will produce the same result as pressing the SINGLE key.
2.
Press the
RUN/STOP key again.
The RUN/STOP key light turns off, and waveform acquisition stops.
Acquiring a Single Waveform (SINGLE)
1.
Press the SINGLE key.
• The SINGLE key illuminates, and waveform acquisition starts. The acquired waveform is displayed.
• The DLM4000 switches to Single mode and acquires a waveform.
• When the DLM4000 triggers, it acquires and displays only one waveform and then stops waveform
acquisition. The SINGLE key light turns off.
• To stop waveform acquisition, press the RUN/STOP key.
Explanation
Waveform Acquisition and Indicators
• When the RUN/STOP key or SINGLE key is illuminated, the DLM4000 is acquiring waveforms.
“Running” appears in the upper left of the screen.
• When the RUN/STOP key or SINGLE key is not illuminated, waveform acquisition is stopped.
“Stopped” appears in the upper left of the screen.
DLM4000 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.
Running and Stopping Operations during Accumulation
• Accumulation stops when you stop waveform acquisition.
• If you restart waveform acquisition, past waveforms are cleared, and accumulation starts over.
Note
• If you start waveform acquisition using RUN/STOP, past data stored in the acquisition memory is cleared.
• 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 DLM4000 continues
signal acquisition.
