Status and Events
This is the simp
lest approach. It requires no status handling or loops. However,
you must set the controller time-out for longer than the acquisition operation.
Example of Using the *WAI
Command
The *WAI command forces completion of previous commands that generate
an OPC message. No commands after the *WAI are processed before the OPC
message(s) are generated
The same command sequence using the *WAI command for synchronization
looks like this:
/* Set up conditional acqui sition */
ACQUIRE:STATE OFF
DISPLAY:WAVEVIEW1:CH1:STATE 1
HORIZONTAL:RECORDLENGTH 1000
ACQUIRE:MODE SAMPLE
ACQUIRE:STOPAFTER SEQUENCE
/* Set up the measurement parameters on the channel we’re
about to sequence */
MEASUREMENT:MEAS1:TYPE AMPLITUDE
MEASUREMENT:MEAS1:SOURCE CH1
/* Acquir e waveform data */
ACQUIRE:STATE ON
/* Wait until the acquisition is complete before taking
the measu rement*/
*/
*WAI
/* Take amplitude measurement */
MEASUREMENT:MEAS1:RESUlts:CU RRentacq:MEAN?
The contro
ller can continue to write commands to the input buffer of the
oscilloscope, but the commands will not be processed by the oscilloscope until
all in-process OPC operations are complete. If the input buffer becomes full,
the controller will be unable to write commands to the buffer. This can cause a
time-out.
Example of Using the
BUS
YQuery
The BUSY? query allows you to find out whether the oscilloscope is
bu
sy processing a command that has an extended processing time such as
single-sequence acquisition.
The same command sequence, using the BUSY? query for synchronization, looks
like this:
/* Set up conditional acqui sition */
ACQUIRE:STATE OFF
DISPLAY:WAVEVIEW1:CH1:STATE 1
HORIZONTAL:RECORDLENGTH 1000
ACQUIRE:MODE SAMPLE
ACQUIRE:STOPAFTER SEQUENCE
