/* TIME_MODE (not executed in this example) - Set the time base

*mode to MAIN, DELAYED, XY or ROLL.

*capture

*------------------------------------------------------------------

*This function prepares the scope for data acquisition and then

*uses the DIGITIZE MACRO to capture some data.

*/

void capture (void)

{

/* AQUIRE_TYPE - Sets the acquisition mode. There are three

*acquisition types NORMAL, PEAK, or AVERAGE.

*/

viPrintf(vi, ":ACQUIRE:TYPE NORMAL\n");

/* AQUIRE_COMPLETE - Specifies the minimum completion criteria

*for an acquisition. The parameter determines the percentage

*of time buckets needed to be "full" before an acquisition is

*considered to be complete.

*/

viPrintf(vi, ":ACQUIRE:COMPLETE 100\n");

/* DIGITIZE - Used to acquire the waveform data for transfer over

*the interface. Sending this command causes an acquisition to

*take place with the resulting data being placed in the buffer.

*/

/* NOTE! The use of the DIGITIZE command is highly recommended

*as it will ensure that sufficient data is available for

*measurement. Keep in mind when the oscilloscope is running,

*communication with the computer interrupts data acquisition.

*Setting up the oscilloscope over the bus causes the data

*buffers to be cleared and internal hardware to be reconfigured.

*If a measurement is immediately requested there may not have

*been enough time for the data acquisition process to collect

*data and the results may not be accurate. An error value of

*9.9E+37 may be returned over the bus in this situation.

*/

viPrintf(vi, ":DIGITIZE CHAN1\n");

}

/*

*analyze

*------------------------------------------------------------------

*In this example we will do the following:

*- Save the system setup to a file for restoration at a later time.

*- Save the oscilloscope display to a file which can be printed.

*- Make single channel measurements.
