Run/Stop

Background

By default, the waveform on the display is
constantly updated (Run mode). Freezing the
waveform by stopping signal acquisition (Stop
mode) allows flexible observation and analysis. To
enter the Stop mode, two methods are available:
pressing the Run/Stop key or using the Single
Trigger mode.

Stop mode icon

When in Stop mode, the Stop icon
appears at the top of the display.

2. In the Single Trigger mode,

the waveform always stays
in the Stop mode, and is
updated only when the
Run/Stop key is pressed.
For details, see page106.
Note: pressing the
Run/Stop key only updates
the waveform once – it does
not switch to Run mode
(continuous update).
