Acquisition Type Normal; Acquisition Type Average - HP 1652B Programming Reference Manual

Acquisition Type
Normal
Acquisition Type
Average
24-2
In the Normal mode, with the ACCumulate command OFF, the
oscilloscope acquires waveform data and then displays the waveform.
When the oscilloscope makes a new acquisition, the previously acquired
waveform is erased from the display and replaced by the newly acquired
waveform.
When the Accumulate command is ON, the oscilloscope displays all the
waveform acquisitions without erasing the previously acquired waveform.
In the Average mode, the oscilloscope averages the data points on the
waveform with previously acquired data. Averaging helps eliminate
random noise from the displayed waveform. In this mode the
number of averages must also be specified using the COUNt command.
Previously averaged waveform data is erased from the display and the
newly averaged waveform is displayed.
