reference selection), then it searches for a trigger. After a trigger is found,
the remainder of the display is filled. Then, the oscilloscope stops acquiring
data.
You can also make automatic measurements in the roll mode. Notice that the
oscilloscope briefly interrupts the moving data while it makes the
measurement. The acquisition system does not miss any data during the
measurement. The slight shift in the display after the measurement is
complete is that of the display catching up to the acquisition system.
