8.2 Function to Acquire Display Data and Event Data
8-4
• Event data
This operation is performed when the type of data acquired is set to "event data only,"
or "display data and event data." There are three modes in data acquisition, [Free],
[Trigger], and [Rotate]. [Free] mode can be set when acquiring the event data only.
Mode Description
Free Data acquisition is started by pressing the START key. The operation is stopped
by pressing the STOP key. When the storage area of the internal memory
becomes full, or the number of files* in the internal memory exceeds 16, it is
overwritten.
* The number of display data files
The number of event data files is equivalent to the number of times the data
acquisition is started/stopped or the number of files that are segmented by the
data length (see section 8.11, during auto save). For details related to the
manual save and auto save, see section 8.4.
Trigger When the internal memory is not divided into blocks :
One event data file is created in the internal memory.
Press the START key to enter the trigger wait state.
After the trigger is activated, data are acquired for the specified time (data length,
see section8.11) and the operation is stopped. At this point, the acquisition does
not start even if the trigger is activated.
