:ACQuire:TYPE
Syntax
:ACQuire:TYPE <type>
:ACQuire:TYPE?
Description
Set or query the acquisition mode of the sample.
Parameter
Name Type Range Default
<type> Discrete {NORMal|AVERages|PEAK|HRESolution} NORMal
Explanation
 NORMal: the oscilloscope samples the signal at equal time interval. For most of waveforms, this
mode can ensure the optimum display effect.
 AVERages: the oscilloscope averages the waveforms from multiple samples to reduce the random
noise on the input signal and increase the vertical resolution. In this mode, you can use
the
:ACQuire:AVERages command to set the number of averages.
 PEAK: the oscilloscope samples the maximum and minimum values of the signal within the sample
interval to acquire the envelop of the signal and narrow pulses that might be lost. But in this mode,
the display noise is relatively larger.
 HRESolution: the oscilloscope averages the neighbouring points of the sampled waveform. This
mode is usually used when the sample rate of the digital converter is greater than the storage rate of
the sample storage.
Return Format
The query returns NORM, AVER, PEAK or HRES.
