Waveform:points - Agilent Technologies MSO6102A Programmer's Reference Manual

:WAVeform:POINts

Command Syntax
:WAVeform:POINts <# points>
<# points> ::= {100 | 250 | 500 | 1000 | <points mode>}
<# points> ::= {100 | 250 | 500 | 1000 | 2000 ... 8000000
<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, there are two different records that can
be transferred:
• The first is the raw acquisition record. The maximum number of points
• The second is referred to as the measurement record and is a 1000
See the :WAVeform:POINts:MODE command (see
information on the <points_mode> option.
Only data visible on the display will be returned.
The maximum number of points returned when the waveform source is
math or function is 1000.
When the :WAVeform:SOURce is the serial decode bus (SBUS), 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
Agilent 6000 Series Oscilloscopes Programmer's Reference
(see page 564)
if waveform points mode is NORMal
in 1-2-5 sequence | <points mode>}
if waveform points mode is MAXimum or RAW
available in this record is returned by the :ACQuire:POINts? query and
may be up to 8,000,000. The raw acquisition record can only be
transferred when the oscilloscope is not running and can only be
retrieved from the analog or digital sources.
point (maximum) representation of the raw acquisition record. The
measurement record can be retrieved at any time, from any source.
