Acquire Commands
This number determines how many samples are averaged together to form
the 16- bit samples that are stored into the channel memories.
To set the desired bits of vertical resolution, see ":ACQuire:HRESolution"
on page 155.
SEGMented In this sampling mode you can view waveform events that are separated
by long periods of time without capturing waveform events that are not of
interest to you.
SEGPdetect
Enables Peak Detect Segmented mode.
SEGHres Enables High Resolution Segmented mode.
To set the desired bits of vertical resolution, see ":ACQuire:HRESolution"
on page 155.
Example
This example sets the acquisition mode to Real Time Normal.
myScope.WriteString ":ACQuire:MODE RTIMe"
Query
:ACQuire:MODE?
The :ACQuire:MODE? query returns the current acquisition sampling mode.
Returned Format
[:ACQuire:MODE] {RTIMe | PDETect | HRESolution | SEGMented}<NL>
Example This example places the current acquisition mode in the string variable,
strMode, then prints the contents of the variable to the computer's screen.
Dim strMode As String ' Dimension variable.
myScope.WriteString ":ACQuire:MODE?"
strMode = myScope.ReadString
Debug.Print strMode
