Agilent Infiniium 90000 Series Oscilloscopes Programmer's Reference 655
:DIGitize
Command :DIGitize [CHANnel<N>][,...]
<N> An integer, 1 - 4.
The :DIGitize command invokes a special mode of data acquisition that is
more efficient than using the :RUN command. This command initializes the
selected channels, then acquires them according to the current oscilloscope
settings. When all waveforms are completely acquired, the oscilloscope is
stopped. The waveform completion criteria is set with the
":ACQuire:COMPlete" command.
If you specify channel or function parameters, then these are the only
waveforms acquired and the display waveforms of the specified channels
and functions are turned off.
If you use the :DIGitize command with no parameters, the digitize
operation is performed on the channels or functions that are being
displayed in the Infiniium waveform viewing area. In this case, the display
state of the acquired waveforms is not changed after the :DIGitize
command is completed. Because the command executes more quickly
without parameters, this form of the command is useful for repetitive
measurement sequences. You can also use this mode if you want to view
the digitize results because the display state of the digitized waveforms is
not affected.
See the Sample Programs in chapter 6 for examples of how to use
:DIGitize and its related commands.
Example This example acquires data on channel 1.
myScope.WriteString ":DIGITIZE CHANNEL1"
The ACQuire subsystem commands set up conditions such as COUNt for
the next :DIGitize command. The WAVeform subsystem commands
determine how the data is transferred out of the oscilloscope, and how to
interpret the data.
NOTE
Full Range of Measurement and Math Operators are Available
Even though digitized waveforms are not displayed, you may perform the full range of
measurement and math operators on them.
