' AQUIRE_TYPE - Sets the acquisition mode, which can be NORMAL,
' PEAK, or AVERAGE.
err = viVPrintf(vi, ":ACQUIRE:TYPE NORMAL" + vbLf, 0)
' AQUIRE_COMPLETE - Specifies the minimum completion criteria for
' an acquisition. The parameter determines the percentage of time
' buckets needed to be "full" before an acquisition is considered
' to be complete.
err = viVPrintf(vi, ":ACQUIRE:COMPLETE 100" + vbLf, 0)
' 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;
' because this is greater than the maximum sample rate by 5 times,
' only 400 points (or 1/5 the points) can be gathered on a single
' trigger. Keep in mind when the oscilloscope is running,
' communication with the computer interrupts data acquisition.
' Setting up the oscilloscope over the bus causes the data buffers
' to be cleared and internal hardware to be reconfigured. If a
' measurement is immediately requested, there may have not been
