Acquisition command group
Acquisiti
on commands set up the modes and functions that control how the
instrument acquires signals and processes them into waveforms. Using these
commands for acquiring waveforms, you can do the following:
Start and stop acquisitions.
Control w
hether each waveform is simply acquired, averaged, or enveloped
over successive acquisitions of that waveform.
Set the c
ontrols or conditions that start and stop acquisitions.
Control acquisition of acquired channel waveforms.
Set acquisition parameters.

Command Description
ACQuire? Queries the current acquisition state.
ACQuire:FA STAcq:PALEtte Sets or queries the waveform grading for fast acquisition mode.
ACQuire:FA STAcq:STATE Sets or queries the state of fast a cquisition mode.
ACQuire:MAXSamplerate?
Returns the maximum real-time sample rate.
ACQuire:MODe Sets or queries the acquisition mode.
ACQuire:NUMACq? Returns the number of waveform acquisitions that have occurred since starting
acquisition with the
ACQuire:STATE RUN command.
ACQuire:NUMAVg Sets or queries number of acquisitions for an averaged waveform.
ACQuire:SEQuence:CURrent? In single sequence acquisition mode, this quer y returns the number of acquisitions
or measurements in the sequence completed so far.
ACQuire:SEQuence:MODe In single sequence acquisition, the single sequence stop after count is based on
number of acquisitions or measurements. Number of acquisitions is the only mode
supported for this product.
ACQuire:SEQuence:NUMSEQuence In single sequence acquisition mode, specify the number of acquisitions or
measurements that comprise the sequence.
ACQuire:STATE Starts, stops, or returns acquisition state.
ACQuire:STOPAfter Sets or queries w hether the acquisition is continuous or single sequence.
