Command Descriptions
You can use commands to either set instrument features or query instrument
values. You can use some commands to do both, some to only set, and some to
only query. Commands that are set only are labeled with the words “(Set Only)”
next to the command. Commands that are query only are labeled with the words
“(Query Only)” next to the command.
This manual shows the minimal command headers, mnemonics, and arguments
in upper case. For example, to use the minimal form of the ACQuire:MODe
command just type ACQ:MOD (or acq:mod).
ACQuire? (Query Only)
Returns all the current acquisition parameters.

ACQUIRE?
might return the string :ACQUIRE:STOPAFTER RUNSTOP;STATE 1;MODE
SAMPLE;NUMENV 8;NUMAVG 16 for the current acquisition parameters.
ACQuire:MODe
Sets or queries the acquisition mode of the oscilloscope. This affects all live
waveforms. This command is equivalent to setting Mode in the ACQUIRE
menu.
Waveforms are the displayed data point values taken from acquisition intervals.
Each acquisition interval represents a time duration set by the horizontal scale
(time per division). The oscilloscope 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.
