I plan to buy a DSO6000 oscilloscope and I have some questions about synchronization of the scope with a PC in an automated measurement system.
1 - how does the IGITIZE command work when acquire mode is average? For example, if the average is on 100 triggers, can I generate a SRQ over the GPIB at the end of the 100 trigger acquisition, to instruct the PC that the data are ready?
2 - If I want to make repetitive measurements of some parameters of input pulses, at which frequency can I do that? The sequence could be: acquisition of the first pulse in 1 microsecond/div scale, measure of the peak value, transfer of the measured value to the PC, acquisition of the second pulse and so on ...
3 - the same question, if I transfer the whole trace (say 1000 points) instead of a single mearurement
4 - last question .. what is the meaning of the command :ACQUIRE:COMPLETE, if it can take the only value 100?
thank you in advance

specified has been reached.
The next command will not execute until the digitize is complete.
Generating an SRQ when the :dig completes should be possible but I
cannot test this at this time.
2. You may make multiple measurements on a single waveform or
average multiple waveforms. The limiting factor for making single
measurements on multiple waveforms is the re-arm time for the trigger.
This will limit you to around 30 acquistions per second. We do not
specify this rate.
3. A 1000 point transfer will have little affect on the cyclic rate. The
transfer time is negligible.
4. :Acquire:complete is a legacy command to allow some compatibility
with our Infiniium scopes, which allow values other than 100.
