Waveform Acquisition
Auto Naming
File names are automatically created during realtime recording. You can also enter
comments. The following three auto naming modes are available.
OFF
The file is assigned the name specified by File Name (up to 16 characters).
Numbering
Automatically creates files by attaching a four-digit number, 0000 to 4999, to the file
name. You can specify a common name (up to 4 characters, specified through File
Name) that is placed before the number.
Date
Automatically creates files using the date and time for the file names. (The file name
specified by File Name is void.)
Selecting Date is convenient for file management, because the file names do not
overlap.
Executing the Realtime Recording
Press START/STOP to start the realtime recording. If the trigger mode is set to Auto,
acquisition continues until the next time you press START/STOP. If the trigger mode is
set to Log, the operation stops after recording the specified time.
Aborting the Realtime Recording
If you stop the waveform acquisition by pressing START/STOP, realtime recording is
aborted even if it is within the specified recording time.

See section 13.15.
Notes on Realtime Recording
• Realtime recording is not possible when the acquisition mode is set to Average.
• During realtime recording, only the executing/aborting of the realtime recording, zoom
display setting, and protection function are valid.
• Cursor measurements and automated measurement of waveform parameters are
suspended while realtime recording is in progress.
• History memory waveforms, loaded waveforms, and computed waveforms cannot be
displayed while realtime recording is in progress.
• The following operations are possible on the data that is realtime recorded to the hard
disk (history memory function cannot be used).
• Cursor measurement and automated measurement of waveform parameters (up to
10 MW)
• Zooming on the Waveform
• Various computations
• X-Y waveform display (uses compressed data)
• Saving/Loading of waveform data
• Printer output
• When realtime recording to the internal hard disk, do not connect a PC to the SCSI
connector.
• Realtime recording is not possible when action-on-trigger is ON.
• Realtime recording is not possible if the record length is less than 1 MW.
• Key response slows down while realtime recording is in progress.
