MASK:TESt:SAMple
Description
This command sets or returns the minimum number of waveform data-
base (WfmDB) points the oscilloscope can acquire before it stops a
single sequence acquisition or stops running a mask test.
Hint: a bigger sample size may allow a greater throughput (more wave-
forms to get acquired at a time). However, a very large sample size may
slow down the display update. So if you find yourself wanting to speed
up the display rate, consider reducing the sample size.
This command works the same as the ACQuire:NUMSAMples com-
mand.
