Instrument Run Control

Use the Run/Stop and Single buttons to start and stop the oscilloscope's acquisition system.

When the Run/Stop button is green, the oscilloscope is running and it is acquiring data when trigger conditions are met.

To stop acquisitions, press Run/Stop. When stopped, the last acquired waveform is displayed.
When the Run/Stop button is red, data acquisition is stopped.

To start acquisitions, press Run/Stop.
To capture and display a single acquisition (whether the oscilloscope is running or stopped), press Single. The Single button remains yellow until the oscilloscope triggers.
