Stopping an Acquisition

Stopping an Acquisition

The acquisition stops automatically after the acquisition is complete.

It is possible to stop the acquisition at any time while the acquisition is in
progress.

Note: The unprocessed wavelengths will not be processed when a multiple

wavelength acquisition is stopped manually.

To stop the acquisition:
Tap Stop from the main window.

The stopped acquisition status will be saved in the measurement file. The
stopped acquisition status is also displayed in the Measurement Info tab.

The global pass/fail status will show unknown or fail when the acquisition
is stopped manually.

Note: A manually stopped acquisition should not be considered as a reliable link

measurement. To fully characterize a link, a complete acquisition should
be performed.
