# Acquired Keyword

The Acquired keyword represents the acquired image from the vision system.

Supply the Acquired keyword for functions that expect an image or event argument.

## Acquired Keyword Example

Here are two examples for Acquired keyword:

- Count() function Functions are tools that are available in Spreadsheet for processing and analyzing acquisitions or other results. You can add functions to your Spreadsheet job to create tool chains and produce results for specific applications.:

  The Count function counts the events on an infinite interval and returns the Preset value and the number of events since the last reset.

  For example, assume you are applying the Acquired keyword with the Count() function:

  Count(Event, Max Value, Reset, Preset) = Count(Acquired,100,0,0)

  As a result, the Count() function counts 100 events.

- Plotstring() function:

  The Plotstring() function plots a string on an image.

  For example, assume you are applying the Acquired keyword with the Plotstring() function:

  PlotString(Acquired, "My String", 100, 100, 0xFFFFFF, 1)

  As a result, the Plotstring() function draws the "My String" text with white color.
