Synchronizing Acquisitions

Synchronization in the Programming Flow
Blocking Synchronization
Polling Synchronization With Timeout
Synchronizing with a Single-Shot Device Under Test (DUT)
Synchronization with an Averaging Acquisition
When remotely controlling an oscilloscope with programming commands, it
is often necessary to know when the oscilloscope has finished the previous
operation and is ready for the next command. The most common example
is when an acquisition is started using the :DIGitize, :RUN, or :SINGle
commands. Before a measurement result can be queried, the acquisition
must complete. Too often fixed delays are used to accomplish this wait,
but fixed delays often use excessive time or the time may not be long
enough. A better solution is to use synchronous commands and status to
know when the oscilloscope is ready for the next request.
