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, click "Run/Stop". When stopped, the last acquired waveform is displayed.
  
  
• When the Run/Stop button is red, data acquisition is stopped.
  
  
  
  To start acquisitions, click "Run/Stop".
  
  
• To capture and display a single acquisition (whether the oscilloscope is running or stopped), click "Single". The Single button remains yellow until the oscilloscope triggers.
