Starting the Acquisition

Starting the Acquisition

Once you have set your parameters, you can start the acquisition.

To start an acquisition:
1.
Select the Instrument function tab.

2. From the Acquisition tab, press Start.

Data acquisition can be terminated at any time by clicking Stop. The
accumulated data is available in the data file.

If you want to start a graph acquisition at the same time, you must enable
the Graph function in the same tab (for more information on the graph
acquisition and visualization mode, see Performing and Analyzing Graph
Acquisitions
on page 73).

Note: You cannot activate Graph mode after the acquisition has already been

started.
