:WAVeform:MODE
Syntax
:WAVeform:MODE <mode>
:WAVeform:MODE?
Description
Sets or queries the reading mode of the waveform data.
Parameter
Name
Type
Range
Default
<mode>
Discrete
{NORMal|RAW|MAXimum}
NORMal
Remarks
NORMal: reads the waveform data displayed on the screen.
RAW: reads the waveform data in the internal memory.
MAXimum: reads the waveform data displayed on the screen when the oscilloscope is in the Run state;
reads the waveform data in the internal memory when the oscilloscope is in the Stop state.
Note: The waveform data in the internal memory can only be read when the oscilloscope is in the Stop
state; besides, you cannot operate the oscilloscope during the reading process.
When the source channel of waveform data reading is set to MATH or FFT (refer to
the :WAVeform:SOURce command), only the waveform data displayed on the screen can be read, and
the waveform data in the internal memory cannot be read at this time.
Return Format
The query returns NORM, RAW, or MAX.
:WAVeform:POINts
Syntax
:WAVeform:POINts <point>
:WAVeform:POINts?
Description
Sets or queries the number of the waveform points to be read.
Parameter
Name
Type
Range
Default
<point>
Integer
Refer to Remarks
1400
Remarks
The range of <point> is related to the current waveform data reading mode (refer to
the :WAVeform:MODE command).
NORMal mode: 1 to 1400
RAW mode: 1 to the current maximum memory depth
MAXimum mode: 1 to the number of effective points currently on the screen
Return Format
The query returns an integer.
