Acquire Commands

:ACQuire:COMPlete

Command
:ACQuire:COMPlete <percent>
The :ACQuire:COMPlete command specifies how many of the data point
storage bins (time buckets) in the waveform record must contain a
waveform sample before a measurement will be made. For example, if the
command :ACQuire:COMPlete 60 has been sent, 60% of the storage bins in
the waveform record must contain a waveform data sample before a
measurement is made.
• If :ACQuire:AVERage is set to OFF, the oscilloscope only needs one
• If :ACQuire:AVERage is set to ON, each time bucket must have n hits
Due to the nature of real time acquisition, 100% of the waveform record
bins are filled after each trigger event, and all of the previous data in the
record is replaced by new data when :ACQuire:AVERage is off. Hence, the
complete mode really has no effect, and the behavior of the oscilloscope is
the same as when the completion criteria is set to 100% (this is the same
as in PDETect mode). When :ACQuire:AVERage is on, all of the previous
data in the record is replaced by new data.
The range of the :ACQuire:COMPlete command is 0 to 100 and indicates
the percentage of time buckets that must be full before the acquisition is
considered complete. If the complete value is set to 100%, all time buckets
must contain data for the acquisition to be considered complete. If the
complete value is set to 0, then one acquisition cycle will take place.
Completion is set by default setup or *RST to 90%. Autoscale changes it to
100%.
<percent>
An integer, 0 to 100, representing the percentage of storage bins (time
buckets) that must be full before an acquisition is considered complete.
Example This example sets the completion criteria for the next acquisition to 90%.

Query

:ACQuire:COMPlete?

The :ACQuire:COMPlete? query returns the completion criteria.
