To start and stop waveform acquisition

• To start waveform acquisition, press the Run key.

The oscilloscope begins acquiring data. When it receives a trigger signal, it

finishes acquiring data, updates the display, then starts another acquisition

cycle if it is in triggered or auto trigger mode. If it is in single sweep mode, it

stops after updating the display.

• To stop waveform acquisition, press the Stop key.

The oscilloscope stops acquiring data. Whatever data was last acquired remains

on the screen.
