Acquisition Modes
To start and stop an acquisition
262
• When you press the [Run/Stop] key, it illuminates in green and the oscilloscope is in
run mode.
The oscilloscope examines the input voltage at each probe, and updates the display
whenever the trigger conditions are met. Trigger processing and screen update rate
are optimized based on the oscilloscope settings. The oscilloscope displays multiple
acquisitions of the same signal similar to the way an analog oscilloscope displays
waveforms.
• When you press the [Run/Stop] key again, it illuminates in red, and the oscilloscope
is stopped.
"Stop" is displayed in the trigger mode position in the status line at the top of the
display. You can pan and zoom the stored waveform by turning the horizontal and
vertical control knobs.
When the oscilloscope is running and you press the [Run/Stop] key, it will flash until the
current acquisition is completed. If the acquisition completes immediately, the
[Run/Stop] key will not flash.
At slower sweep speeds, you may not want to wait for the acquisition to finish. Just
press [Run/Stop] again. The acquisition will stop immediately and a partial waveform
will be displayed.
You can display the results of multiple acquisitions using infinite persistence. See
"Infinite Persistence"
on page 182.
