ACQuire:STATE
Description
This command starts or stops acquisitions. When state is set to ON or
RUN, a new acquisition will be started. If the last acquisition was a
single acquisition sequence, a new single sequence acquisition will be
started. If the last acquisition was continuous, a new continuous ac-
quisition will be started.
If RUN is issued in the middle of completing a single sequence acquisi-
tion (for example, averaging or enveloping), the acquisition sequence is
restarted, and any accumulated data is discarded. Also, the instrument
resets the number of acquisitions. If the RUN argument is issued while
in continuous mode, a reset occurs and acquired data continues to ac-
quire.
Sending this command is equivalent to pressing the front--panel RUN/
STOP button.
