6. Click Series on the above screen so the oscilloscope can transmit continuously as
indicated below. You can now control the oscilloscope.
7. When operation is complete press [CLOSE] to close this screen.
Note: When starting step 5 after completing step 4, you can select [Function] and then
[Remote Control] in the menu bar instead of clicking [Data Interface]. The following
screen will pop up to allow control of the oscilloscope but no waveform is displayed.
This operation is similar to “Serial Interface Controls” explained below.
