Introduction to The ACQuire subsystem controls the way in which waveforms are :ACQuire acquired. These acquisition types are available: normal, averaging, peak

Commands detect, and high resolution. Two acquisition modes are available: real- time mode, and equivalent- time mode.

Normal

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.
