Starting and Stopping an Acquisition

Once you start an acquisition, it will continue until you stop it. If you had a
previous acquisition that you have not saved, you will be prompted to save
it before starting a new one.

While an acquisition is in progress, the on-screen data and graphs are
updated upon each burst, and you can still change the display layout.
However, you cannot use the playback controls, or open or save files.

To start an acquisition:
Press the Start button.

OR

From the Measurement menu, select Start.

To stop an acquisition:
While the acquisition is in progress, press the Stop button.

OR

From the Measurement menu, select Stop.

Note: Closing the application will also stop the acquisition.
