8 :ACQuire Commands
:ACQuire:POINts
(see page 782)
Query Syntax
:ACQuire:POINts?
The :ACQuire:POINts? query returns the number of data points that the hardware
will acquire from the input signal. The number of points acquired is not directly
controllable. To set the number of points to be transferred from the oscilloscope,
use the command :WAVeform:POINts. The :WAVeform:POINts? query will return
the number of points available to be transferred from the oscilloscope.
Return Format <points_argument><NL>
<points_argument> ::= an integer in NR1 format
