Agilent U2353 - data acquisition

[kajo97]

Hi, I am stuck with a problem. I can not understand, how to measure my waveform. I am trying to measure user defined waveform. I think, that I do not understand how the card is working. I have a freqency of my signal 100Hz.  I have a single-shot acquisition and my sample rate is 500kHz. I using a command ACQ:SRAT 500000. Then I set acquired number of points by command ACQ:POINT. 

And my problem is, that the card dont give my back my required number of points, and the number of points change when I change sampling rate or the frequencz of the signal. 

Thank you in advance.

You need to give a lot more information for us to help.

Are you trying to get information directly from the Agilent device?

Based on your question I have to ask are you using any NI software to do this communication? If so what are you using. If not why are you asking this question here. You might have more luck going to the Agilent website for help.

If you are using NI hardware to read from the Agilent device please post the code so we can help trouble shoot your issue.

Your issue seems to be that you don't wait long enough for the instrument to complete the capture. Please refer to the below image for a sample order of operations for your use case. 

Please share a snippet of the code you are using (SCPI commands, values, order of operation)
