OFF or STOP or <NR1> = 0 stops acquisitions.
ON or RUN or <NR1> ¸ 0 starts acquisition and display of waveforms. If the
command was issued in the middle of an acquisition sequence (for instance
averaging or enveloping), RUN restarts the sequence, discarding any data
accumulated prior to the STOP. It also resets the number of acquisitions.
ACQUIRE:STATE RUN
starts acquisition of waveform data and resets the number of acquisitions count
(NUMACQ) to zero.
ACQUIRE:STATE?
returns either 0 or 1, depending on whether the acquisition system is running.
ACQuire:NUMACq?, ACQuire:STOPAfter
ACQuire:STOPAfter
Tells the oscilloscope when to stop taking acquisitions.
Acquisition
ACQuire:STOPAfter { RUNSTop | SEQuence }
ACQuire:STOPAfter?
RUNSTop specifies that the run and stop state should be determined by the user
pressing the front-panel RUN/STOP button.
SEQuence specifies “single sequence” operation, where the oscilloscope stops
after it has acquired enough waveforms to satisfy the conditions of the acquisi-
tion mode. For example, if the acquisition mode is set to sample, and the
horizontal scale is set to a speed that allows real-time operation, then the
oscilloscope stops acquisition after digitizing a waveform from a single trigger
event. However, if the acquisition mode is set to average 128 waveforms, then
the oscilloscope stops acquiring data only after all 128 waveforms have been
acquired. The ACQuire: STATE command and the front-panel RUN/STOP
button will also stop acquisition when the oscilloscope is in single sequence
mode.
