ACQuire:STATE
Description: Starts or stops acquisitions. Sending this command is the equivalent of pressing the
front-panel RUN/STOP button. If ACQuire:STOPAfter is set to SEQuence, other signal events
may also stop acquisition.
Group: Acquisition
Related Commands: ACQuire:NUMACq? , ACQuire:REPEt, ACQuire:STOPAfter
Syntax 1: ACQuire:STATE { OFF | ON | RUN | STOP | <NR1> }
Syntax 2: ACQuire:STATE?
Argument 1: OFF or STOP or <NR1> = 0 stops acquisitions.
Argument 2: ON or RUN or <NR1> NOT = 0 starts acquisition and display of waveforms. If the
command was issued in the middle of an acquisition sequence (for instance averaging or
enveloping), RUN restarts the sequence, discarding any data accumulated prior to the STOP. It
also resets the number of acquisitions.
Example 1: ACQUIRE:STATE RUN
starts acquisition of waveform data and resets the number of acquisitions count (NUMACQ) to
zero.
Example 2: ACQUIRE:STATE?
returns either 0 or 1, depending on whether the acquisition system is running.
