Acquisition Control

The Acquisition Control menu is used to set the acquisition mode, the
trigger position within available memory, and the sample period.
Acquisition Mode Field
The Acquisition Mode field toggles between Manual and Automatic. When
set to Automatic, the position of stored data relative to trigger and the
sample rate are based on the sec/Div and delay settings in the Waveform
menu.
Acquisition Control
When the Acquisition Mode field is set to Manual, additional configuration
fields become available. The additional configuration fields work together
with the sequence instructions, in a prioritized manner, to position the
memory in relation to the trigger point.
