ACQuire:REPEt

TDS 400A, 510A, 500C, & 700C Only

Controls repetitive signal acquisition. This is equivalent to setting Repetitive
Signal in the Acquire menu. When the digitizing oscilloscope is in real-time
operation, this setting has no effect.
The ACQuire:REPEt command specifies the behavior of the acquisition system
during equivalent-time (ET) operation. When repetitive mode is on, the
acquisition system will continue to acquire waveform data until the waveform
record is filled with acquired data. When repetitive mode is off and you specify
single acquisition operation, only some of the waveform data points will be set
with acquired data, and the displayed waveform shows interpolated values for
the unsampled data points.
When extended-acquisition-length mode is on, this command can still set and
return values. However, this acquire:repet feature will not actually work while
extended-acquisition-length mode is on.
