3.3 Common Operations

Chapter 3 Operation Overview

When measuring using the trigger functions, the timing of starting measurement

is different than that of starting recording (data acquisition).

See "Measurement and Internal Operations" (⇒ p. 76)

To avoid operating mistakes when starting measurement, the behavior of the

START key can be modified. At factory shipping, the START key is set to start

measurement when it is pressed once.

See "12.2.1 Specifying Activation Conditions for the START Key" (⇒ p. 337)

Press once: recording stops at the end of the specified recording length.

Press twice: recording stops immediately. (Abort)

When Aborting

• Aborting while auto-saving

Data up to the moment of aborting is automatically saved.

• Aborting while awaiting a trigger

If at least one trigger event has occurred since starting, the last measured

waveform is displayed. However, if longer than one half of the maximum setta-

ble recording length, no waveform is displayed.

• Aborting while storing

Waveforms up to the moment of aborting are displayed.
