The exact nature of a sequence" depends on the present acquisition mode.
In sample or peak detect mode, a sequence" is a single acquisition. In
envelope or average mode, a sequence" is a number of acquisitions equal
to the number of envelopes or averages.
For example, when both average and single sequence mode are active and
the number of averages is 16, the oscilloscope collects 16 acquisitions,
averages them, displays the resulting waveform, and stops until you press
the RUN/STOP button.
To deactivate single sequence mode, press the side menu button RUN/STOP
button only.
