ACQuire:MODe
This command sets or queries the ac
quisition mode of the instrument.
This affects all live waveforms. This command is equivalent to selecting
Horizontal/Acquisition from the Horiz/Acq menu, and then choosing the desired
mode from the Acquisition Mode group box.
Waveforms are the displayed data point v alues taken from acquisition intervals.
Each acquisition interval represents a time duration set by the horizontal scale
(time per division). The instrument sampling system always samples at the
maximum rate and so an acquisition interval may include more than one sample.
The acquisition mode (which you set using this ACQuire:MODe command)
determines how the final value of the acquisition interval is generated from the
many data samples.

Arguments
SAMple specifies that the displayed data point value is the fi rst sampled value
that is taken during the acquisition interval. In sample mode, all waveform data
has 8 bits of precision. You can request 16 bit data with a CURVe query but the
lower-order 8 bits of data will be zero.
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 o f 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
