ACQuire:MAXSamplerate? (Query Only)
Returns the maximum real-time sample rate, which varies from model to model.
Group Acquisition
Syntax ACQuire:MAXSamplerate?
Examples ACQUIRE:MAXSAMPLERATE? might return 2.5000E+9 in a DPO4034 indicating
the maximum real-time sample rate is 2.5GS/s.
ACQuire:MODe
Sets or returns the acquisition mode of the oscilloscope for all live waveforms.
Waveforms are the displayed data point values taken from acquisition intervals.
Each acquisition interval represents a time duration set by the horizontal scale
(time per division). The oscilloscope sampling system always samples at the
maximum rate, so the acquisition interval may include than one sample.
The acquisition mode (which you set using this ACQuire:MODe command)
determines how the final value of the acquisition interval is generated from the
many data samples.

ACQuire:MODe?
Related Commands ACQuire:NUMAVg,CURVe
Arguments SAMple specifies that the displayed data point value is the first sampled value
that is taken during the acquisition interval. In sample mode, all waveform data
has 8 bits of precision. You can request 16 bit data with a CURVe query but the
lower-order 8 bits of data will be zero. SAMple is the default mode.
PEAKdetect specifies the display of high-low range of the samples taken from a
single waveform acquisition. The high-low range is displayed as a vertical column
that extends from the highest to the lowest value sampled during the acquisition
interval. PEAKdetect mode can reveal the presence of aliasing or narrow spikes.
HIRes specifies Hi Res mode where the displayed data point value is the
average of all the samples taken during the acquisition interval. This is a form
