:WAVeform Commands

:WAVeform:POINts

Command Syntax
:WAVeform:POINts <# points>
<# points> ::= {100 | 250 | 500 | 1000 | <points mode>}
<# points> ::= {100 | 250 | 500 | 1000 | 2000 | 5000 | 10000 | 20000
<points mode> ::= {NORMal | MAXimum | RAW}
The <points_mode> option is deprecated. Use the :WAVeform:POINts:MODE command
N O T E
instead.
The :WAVeform:POINts command sets the number of waveform points to be
transferred with the :WAVeform:DATA? query. This value represents the
points contained in the waveform selected with the :WAVeform:SOURce
command.
For the analog or digital sources, the records that can be transferred
depend on the waveform points mode. The maximum number of points
returned for math (function) waveforms is determined by the NORMal
waveform points mode. See the :WAVeform:POINts:MODE command (see
page
Only data visible on the display will be returned.
When the :WAVeform:SOURce is the serial decode bus (SBUS1 or SBUS2),
this command is ignored, and all available serial decode bus data is
returned.
Query Syntax
:WAVeform:POINts?
The :WAVeform:POINts query returns the number of waveform points to be
transferred when using the :WAVeform:DATA? query. Setting the points
mode will affect what data is transferred (see the :WAVeform:POINts:MODE
command (see
When the :WAVeform:SOURce is the serial decode bus (SBUS1 or SBUS2),
this query returns the number of messages that were decoded.
Return Format
