3.4.1 Acquisition control
Several commands exist to control the acquisition process. The following diagram
shows the possible states of the acquisition process, and the way they are
affected by commands.
The trigger model shows that after a
*
RST command, the instrument is in the
IDLE state. An acquisition doesn’t start until an INITiate command is received.
Initiation of the oscilloscope occurs by sending the INITiate[:IMMediate] command
