Figure 3-3: Acquire Menu — Stop After
RUN/STOP button only (side) lets you start or stop acquisitions by
toggling the RUN/STOP button. Pressing the RUN/STOP button once will
stop the acquisitions. The upper left hand corner in the display will say
Stopped and show the number of acquisitions. If you press the button
again, the digitizing oscilloscope will resume taking acquisitions.
Press Single Acquisition Sequence (side). That selection lets you run a
single sequence of acquisitions by pressing the RUN/STOP button. In
Sample, Peak Detect, or Hi Res mode, the digitizing oscilloscope will
acquire a waveform record with the first valid trigger event and stop.
In Envelope or Average mode, the digitizing oscilloscope will make the
specified number of acquisitions to complete the averaging or enveloping
task.
If the oscilloscope is in equivalent-time mode and you press Single
Acquisition Sequence (side), it will continue to recognize trigger events
and acquire samples until the waveform record is filled.
Hint: To quickly select Single Acquisition Sequence without displaying the
Acquire and Stop After menus, press SHIFT FORCE TRIG. Now the
RUN/STOP button operates as just described. (You still must display the
Acquire menu and then the Stop After menu to leave Single Acquisition
Sequence operation.)
