Operating Key Procedure

CURSOR

Move the cursor to the [Shot] item.

Select [Cont] (Continuous).

Indicates the maximum number of divi-

sions remaining in internal memory tha

can be retraced after recording has

stopped.

Real-time printing

• Real-time printing is not available when the timebase is 20 to 200 ms/div, even

if Auto Print (real-time printing (⇒ p. 301)) is [On]. Of course printing can still

be performed manually after finished measuring (⇒ p. 303).

Up to 5,000 divisions of data can be internally recorded by the instrument

(with the Model 9715 Memory Board installed).

• Data is not saved internally during measurement. Data remaining in memory

is saved when measurement is manually aborted.

• When using the Model 9684 DC Powr Unit, or when using the Model 8995-01

A6 Printer Unit to print numerical values, real-time printing is not available at

timebase settings of 500 ms/div or 1 s/div.

Measuring beyond the maximum recording length

When [Cont] recording is selected and measurement continues beyond the

recording length, the remaining recording time displayed on the Waveform

screen becomes negative after the end of the recording time (zero). (except

when display of both date and time is enabled) (⇒ p. 336)

Timebase setting with [Cont] recording

The timebase can be set to any value from 20 ms/div when the recording length

is set to [Cont]. If the timebase has been set to 10 ms/div, selecting [Cont]

recording length forces it to 20 ms/div.
