Returns current acquisition parameters.
ACQuire?
might return the string :ACQUIRE:STOPAFTER RUNSTOP;STATE
1;MODE SAMPLE;NUMAVG 16 for the current acquisition parameters.
ACQuire:MODe
Sets or queries the oscilloscope acquisition mode. This affects all
live waveforms and is equivalent to setting the Mode option in the
Acquire menu.
Waveforms are the displayed data point values taken from
acquisition intervals. Each acquisition interval represents a time
duration that is determined by the horizontal scale (time per
division).
The oscilloscope sampling system can operate at a rate greater than
that indicated by the horizontal scale. Therefore, an acquisition
interval can include more than one sample.
The acquisition mode, which you set using this ACQuire:MODe
command, determines how the final value of the acquisition interval
is generated from the many data samples.
Acquisition
ACQuire:MODe { SAMple | PEAKdetect | AVErage }
ACQuire:MODe?
SAMple specifies that the displayed data point value is the first
sampled value that was taken during the acquisition interval. The
waveform data has 8 bits of precision in all acquisition modes. You
can request 16 bit data with a CURVe? query, but the lower-order
8 bits of data will be zero. SAMple is the default mode.
