Press the SINGLE key to execute a single-shot acquisition.
The key will illuminate in orange until the oscilloscope is
triggered.
Press the RUN/STOP key to make the oscilloscope start
looking for a trigger. The RUN/STOP key will illuminate in
green. When the trigger mode is set to Normal mode, the
display will not update until a trigger is found. If the trigger
mode is set to Auto mode, the oscilloscope looks for a trigger,
and if no trigger is found, it will be triggered automatically and
the waveform of input signals will be shown immediately.
Press the RUN/STOP key again to stop acquiring data and
the RUN/STOP key will illuminate in red. Now you can pan
across and zoom in on the acquired waveform.
