5 Commands by Subsystem
:DIGitize
(see page 658)
Command Syntax
:DIGitize [<source>[,..,<source>]]
<source> ::= {CHANnel<n> | FUNCtion | MATH | SBUS}
<n>::={1|2|3|4}forthefour channel oscilloscope models
<n> ::= {1 | 2} for the two channel oscilloscope models
The <source> parameter may be repeated up to 5 times.
The :DIGitize command is a specialized RUN command. It causes the
instrument to acquire waveforms according to the settings of the :ACQuire
commands subsystem. When the acquisition is complete, the instrument is
stopped. If no argument is given, :DIGitize acquires the channels currently
displayed. If no channels are displayed, all channels are acquired.

Example Code
' DIGITIZE - Used to acquire the waveform data for transfer over
' the interface. Sending this command causes an acquisition to
' take place with the resulting data being placed in the buffer.
'
' NOTE! The DIGITIZE command is highly recommended for triggering
' modes other than SINGLE. This ensures that sufficient data is
' available for measurement. If DIGITIZE is used with single mode,
' the completion criteria may never be met. The number of points
' gathered in Single mode is related to the sweep speed, memory
' depth, and maximum sample rate. For example, take an oscilloscope
' with a 1000-point memory, a sweep speed of 10 us/div (100 us
' total time across the screen), and a 20 MSa/s maximum sample rate.
' 1000 divided by 100 us equals 10 MSa/s. Because this number is
' less than or equal to the maximum sample rate, the full 1000 points
' will be digitized in a single acquisition. Now, use 1 us/div
' (10 us across the screen). 1000 divided by 10 us equals 100 MSa/s;
NOTE
To halt a :DIGitize in progress, use the device clear command.
NOTE
MATH is an alias for FUNCtion.
