4. Touch the Enable Timeout checkbox.
5. Touch inside the Timeout data entry field and enter a timeout value.

NOTE: Use the sequence mode timeout to automatically interrupt
the sequence acquisition if the timeout value is exceeded without a
valid trigger. The timeout period accounts for instances when a
Number of Segments miscount occurs for some reason and the
oscilloscope waits indefinitely for an unforthcoming segment.
During that time, no oscilloscope functions are accessible. By means
of a timeout value, however, the acquisition will be completed, the
waveform displayed, and control of the oscilloscope returned to the
user after the timeout has elapsed.

5. Under Display Settings, touch inside the Display mode field, and

select a sequence mode display from the pop-up menu.

6. Touch the S

INGLE

trigger front panel button.

NOTE: Once a single acquisition has started, you can interrupt the
acquisition at any time by pressing the S

INGLE

front panel button a

second time or by pressing the S

TOP

front panel button. In this case,

the segments already acquired will be retained in memory.

Zooming Segments in Sequence Mode

You can zoom individual segments easily using the Q

UICKZOOM

front panel

button. When you zoom, the zoom traces default to Segment 1. Channel
descriptors indicate the total number of segments acquired. Zoom
descriptors indicate [Seg #] and #Segments in the Zoom.

You can scroll through the segments using Z

OOM

front panel position knob.

1. Touch the front panel Quickzoom button.
2. Turn the Z

OOM

front panel position knob to scroll through the

segments.

3. To vary the degree of zoom, touch the newly created Zx trace label.

The setup dialog for the zoom (Z1 to Z4) opens. It shows the current
horizontal and vertical zoom factors.

4. If you want to increase or decrease your horizontal or vertical zoom

in small increments, touch the Var. checkbox to enable variable
zooming. Now with each touch of the zoom control buttons, the
degree of magnification changes by small increments.
