Command Descriptions
Arguments
<NR1> is the num
ber of w aveform acquisitions. Correct values are 4, 16, 64,
and 128.
Examples
ACQUIRE:NUMAVG 16 specifies that an a veraged waveform will show the result of
combining 16 separately a cquired waveforms.
ACQUIRE:NUMAVG? might return 64, indicating that there are 64 acquisitions
specified for averaging.
ACQuire:STATE
Starts or stops oscilloscope acquisitions. This command is the equivalent of
pressing the front-panel RUN/STOP button. If ACQuire:STOPAfter is set to
SEQuence, other signal events may also stop acquisition.
NOTE. The best way to determine when a single s equence acquisition is complete
is to use *OPC rather than ACQuire:STATE.

Arguments
OFF|STOP|<NR1> = 0 stops acquisitions.
ON|RUN|<NR1> ≠ 0 starts acquisition and display of waveforms. If the command
was issued in the middle of an acquisition sequence (for instance averaging),
RUN r estarts the sequence, discarding any data accumulated before the STOP. It
also resets the number of acquisitions.
Examples
ACQUIRE:STATE RU N starts acquisition of waveform data and resets the number
of acquisitions count (NUMACq) to z ero.
ACQUIRE:STATE? returns 0 or 1, depending on whether the acquisition system is
running.
ACQuire:STOPAfter
Tells the oscilloscope when to stop taking acquisitions.
