2.3.12 R/S, Run-Stop<br />

The R/S run-stop key provides front panel control over data acquisition for<br />

both channels simultaneously. If the channel is in SNGL measurement mode,<br />

each<br />

R/S key press causes one reading to be taken. In CONT measurement mode,<br />

each R/S key press toggles continuous data acquisition on and off.<br />

The activity annunciator (Figure 2b) flashes to indicate that readings are<br />

being taken on the displayed channel as indicated in the upper right hand<br />

corner of the display. The indicator is off when data acquisition on the<br />

displayed channel has been stopped. In the special case that both channels<br />

are started together in DC CONT mode the readings will be synchronized<br />

together with channel A readings leading channel B readings by about 70 µsec.<br />

Otherwise the channels run independent of each other.<br />
