Command Set Organization
The command set is divided into common commands, root level commands
and sets of subsystem commands. Each of the groups of commands is
described in the Agilent 54600-Series Oscilloscopes Programmer’s
Reference, which is supplied as an online help file for Microsoft Windows.
See chapter 8 for information on installing and using the help file.
The commands are shown using upper and lowercase letters. As an example,
AUToscale indicates that the entire command name is AUTOSCALE. To
speed up the transfer, the short form AUT is also accepted by the
oscilloscope. Each command listing contains a description of the command
and its arguments and the command syntax. Some commands have a
programming example.
The subsystems are listed below:
SYSTem controls some basic functions of the oscilloscope.
ACQuire sets the parameters for acquiring and storing data.
CHANnel controls all oscilloscope functions associated with individual
channels or groups of channels.
DISPlay controls how waveforms, graticule, and text are displayed and
written on the screen.
FUNCtion controls functions in the Measurement/Storage Module.
MASK controls the waveform monitoring test function available when using
the Measurement/Storage Module.
MEASure selects the automatic measurements to be made and controls
time markers.
SEQuence controls the automated testing functions when using the Test
Automation Module.
TIMebase controls all horizontal sweep functions.
TRACe controls features used with trace memories.
TRIGger controls the trigger modes and parameters for each trigger type.
EXTernal Trigger defines the conditions for an external trigger. These
commands only appear on the Agilent 54610, 54615, and 54616 Oscilloscopes.
WAVeform provides access to waveform data.
