The repetition mode defines how many statistics cycles are measured if the measurement is not stopped by a limit failure (see stop condition On Limit Failure below). Two modes are available for all measurements:
| Single Shot | The measurement is stopped after one statistics cycle |
| Continuous | The measurement is continued until explicitly terminated by the user; the results are periodically updated |
A third repetition mode is available in remote control:
| Counting | Repeated single shot measurement with a fixed number of statistics cycles |
The repetition mode is set in the Control tab of the measurement configuration popup-menus.
Note:
In contrast to other instrument settings, the repetition modes in manual
and remote control are independent and do not overwrite each other. The
default repetition mode in manual control is Continuous (observe
results over an extended period of time), the default mode in remote control
is Single Shot (perform one measurement and retrieve results).
