Average Acquisition with the NI 5112

Is it possible to setup the NI 5112 to acquire data in the Average Acquisition mode available on most box scopes (i.e. acquire multiple waveforms and compute the average value for each point in the waveform record)? How about Envelope Acquisition mode?

The average acquisition can be done in the NI-SCOPE driver which is used by all of the National Instruments Scopes. You will need to call NISCOPE_VAL_MULTI_ACQ_AVERAGE, which will keep a running average until the averages are reset from when it was first called. There are also many other functions that are included in the NI-SCOPE driver. You can download the driver and take a look at the help file. I would suggest getting the latest version if you have NI-SCOPE on your computer.

The envelope mode would be a little more complicated. You could overlay multiple records on the same graph to see the change from each acquistion.
With a little programming you should be able to reproduce most functions available from the standard scopes.

Good Luck.
