Keysight InfiniiVision X-Series Oscilloscope Auto Mode: Capture waveforms with or without a trigger
event occurring.

Horizontal controls Normal Mode: Capture waveforms only when a trigger

event occurs.

Run controls
Scale (larger knob): Control width of waveforms in
units of seconds/division.
Position (smaller knob): Control left and right
position of waveform.
Zoom : Show expanded view of waveforms.
Run: Capture waveforms continuously.

Save/Recall Stop: Display last captured waveform.

Single: Perform a single acquisition when the next
trigger event occurs.
