collecting data via the Start Position field. When you choose Position,
the Collect Data: TIMEBASE screen's timer control button is labeled
Arm Timer.

measurement.

in step 3b. However, note that you use the Stop Position field and that

in the Stop Position field.

be taken for a complete measurement.
