8 :ACQuire Commands
The :ACQuire:TYPE NORMal command sets the oscilloscope in the normal
acquisition mode. For the majority of user models and signals, NORMal mode
yields the best oscilloscope picture of the waveform.
Averaging
The :ACQuire:TYPE AVERage command sets the oscilloscope in the averaging
mode. You can set the count by sending the :ACQuire:COUNt command followed
by the number of averages. In this mode, the value for averages is an integer from
2 to 65536. The COUNt value determines the number of averages that must be
acquired.
High-Resolution
The :ACQuire:TYPE HRESolution command sets the oscilloscope in the
high-resolution mode (also known as smoothing). This mode is used to reduce
noise at slower sweep speeds where the digitizer samples faster than needed to fill
memory for the displayed time range. Instead of decimating samples, they are
averaged together to provide the value for one display point. The slower the sweep
speed, the greater the number of samples that are averaged together for each
display point.
Peak Detect
The :ACQuire:TYPE PEAK command sets the oscilloscope in the peak detect mode.
In this mode, :ACQuire:COUNt has no meaning.
Reporting the Setup
Use :ACQuire? to query setup information for the ACQuire subsystem.
Return Format
The following is a sample response from the :ACQuire? query. In this case, the
query was issued following a *RST command.
