Agilent Technologies 5000 Series Peak Detect, Real-time Mode, Equivalent-time Mode, Return Format

3Commands by Subsystem

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 1 (smoothing) to 65536. The COUNt value determines the number of averages that must be acquired.

Peak Detect

The :ACQuire:TYPE PEAK command sets the oscilloscope in the peak detect mode. In this mode, :ACQuire:COUNt has no meaning.

Real-time Mode

The :ACQuire:MODE RTIMe command sets the oscilloscope in real- time mode. This mode is useful to inhibit equivalent time sampling at fast sweep speeds.

Equivalent-time Mode

The :ACQuire:MODE ETIME command sets the oscilloscope in equivalent- time mode.

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.

:ACQ:MODE RTIM;TYPE NORM;COMP 100;COUNT 8
