- ACQuire:MODe {SAMple|PEAKdetect|HIRes|AVErage|ENVelope}
- ACQuire:MODe?
Info
  • SAMple specifies that the displayed data point value is the first sampled value that is taken during the acquisition interval. The CURVe? query, depending on sample rate, will result in either 8 bit or 16 bit data. In case of 8 bit data, the precision is also 8 bit. However, in case of 16 bit data, 12 bit precision data is zero padded in lower 4 bits. 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 of averaging, where the average comes from a single waveform acquisition. The number of samples taken during the acquisition interval determines the number of data values that compose the average.
  • AVErage specifies averaging mode, in which the resulting waveform shows an average of SAMple data points from several separate waveform acquisitions. The instrument processes the number of waveforms you specify into the acquired waveform, creating a running exponential average of the input signal. The number of waveform acquisitions that go into making up the average waveform is set or queried using the ACQuire:NUMAVg command.
  • ENVelope specifies envelope mode, where the resulting waveform displays the range of PEAKdetect from continued waveform acquisitions.

  • .numsequence: The ACQuire:SEQuence:NUMSEQuence command.

state property

state: AcquireState

Return the ACQuire:STATE command.

Description
  • This command starts or stops acquisitions. When state is set to ON or RUN, a new acquisition will be started. If the last acquisition was a single acquisition sequence, a new single sequence acquisition will be started. If the last acquisition was continuous, a new continuous acquisition will be started. If RUN is issued in the middle of completing a single sequence acquisition (for example, averaging or enveloping), the acquisition sequence is restarted, and any accumulated data is discarded. Also, the instrument resets the number of acquisitions. If the RUN argument is issued while in continuous mode, a reset occurs and acquired data continues to acquire. If acquire:stopafter is SEQUENCE, this command leaves the instrument in single sequence, unlike the run/stop button which takes the instrument out of single sequence.
Usage
  • Using the .query() method will send the ACQuire:STATE? query.
  • Using the .verify(value) method will send the ACQuire:STATE? query and raise an AssertionError if the returned value does not match value.

  • In single sequence acquisition mode, specify the number of acquisitions or measurements that comprise the sequence. The default is 1.
Usage
  • Using the .query() method will send the ACQuire:SEQuence:NUMSEQuence? query.
  • Using the .verify(value) method will send the ACQuire:SEQuence:NUMSEQuence? query and raise an AssertionError if the returned value does not match value.
  • Using the .write(value) method will send the ACQuire:SEQuence:NUMSEQuence value command.
SCPI Syntax
- ACQuire:SEQuence:NUMSEQuence <NR1>
- ACQuire:SEQuence:NUMSEQuence?
Info
  • <NR1> is the number of acquisitions or measurements that comprise the sequence.

AcquireState

Bases: SCPICmdWrite, SCPICmdRead

The ACQuire:STATE command.

Description
  • This command starts or stops acquisitions. When state is set to ON or RUN, a new acquisition will be started. If the last acquisition was a single acquisition sequence, a new single sequence acquisition will be started. If the last acquisition was continuous, a new continuous acquisition will be started. If RUN is issued in the middle of completing a single sequence acquisition (for example, averaging or enveloping), the acquisition sequence is restarted, and any accumulated data is discarded. Also, the instrument resets the number of acquisitions. If the RUN argument is issued while in continuous mode, a reset occurs and acquired data continues to acquire. If acquire:stopafter is SEQUENCE, this command leaves the instrument in single sequence, unlike the run/stop button which takes the instrument out of single sequence.
Usage
  • Using the .query() method will send the ACQuire:STATE? query.
  • Using the .verify(value) method will send the ACQuire:STATE? query and raise an AssertionError if the returned value does not match value.
  • Using the .write(value) method will send the ACQuire:STATE value command.
SCPI Syntax
- ACQuire:STATE {<NR1>|OFF|ON|RUN|STOP}
- ACQuire:STATE?
Info
  • <NR1> = 0 stops acquisitions; any other value starts acquisitions.
  • OFF stops acquisitions.
  • ON starts acquisitions.
  • RUN starts acquisitions.
  • STOP stops acquisitions.

AcquireStopafter

Bases: SCPICmdWrite, SCPICmdRead

The ACQuire:STOPAfter command.

Description
  • This command sets or queries whether the instrument continually acquires acquisitions or acquires a single sequence. Pressing SINGLE on the front panel button is equivalent to sending these commands: ACQUIRE:STOPAFTER SEQUENCE and ACQUIRE:STATE 1.
Usage
  • Using the .query() method will send the ACQuire:STOPAfter? query.
  • Using the .verify(value) method will send the ACQuire:STOPAfter? query and raise an AssertionError if the returned value does not match value.
  • Using the .write(value) method will send the ACQuire:STOPAfter value command.
SCPI Syntax
- ACQuire:STOPAfter {RUNSTop|SEQuence}
- ACQuire:STOPAfter?
Info
  • RUNSTop specifies that the instrument will continually acquire data, if ACQuire:STATE is turned on.
  • SEQuence specifies that the next acquisition will be a single-sequence acquisition.
