DIGitize
Command :DIGitize
The DIGitize command is used to acquire waveform data for transfer over
GPIB. The command initiates the Repetitive Run for the oscilloscope and
any modules that are grouped together in Group Run through the
Intermodule Bus. If a RUNtil condition has been specified in any module, the
oscilloscope and the grouped modules will acquire data until the RUNtil
conditions have been satisfied.
The Acquire subsystem commands may be used to set up conditions such as
acquisition type and average count for the DIGitize command. See the
Acquire subsystem for the description of these commands.
When a count number in the average acquisition type has been specified, the
oscilloscope and all grouped modules will acquire data until these conditions
have been satisfied.
When both the RUNtil and the ACQuire:COUNt have been satisfied, the
acquisition will stop.
For a faster data transfer rate over the interface bus, display a menu that has
no waveforms on screen.
The DIGitize command is an overlap command, thus ensure that all data has
been acquired and stored in the channel buffers before executing any other
commands. The MESE command and the MESR query may be used to check
for run complete or a WAIt instruction may be inserted after the DIGitize
command to ensure enough time for command execution.
