:ACQuire Commands" on page 123.
Introduction to
:ACQuire
Commands
The ACQuire subsystem controls the way in which waveforms are
acquired. These acquisition types are available: normal, averaging, peak
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.
