Agilent Technologies 1670G SPERiod?, TYPE?

Query :WAVeform:SOURce?

The SOURce query returns the presently selected channel.

Returned Format [:WAVeform:SOURce] CHANnel<N><NL>

Example OUTPUT XXX;":WAVEFORM:SOURCE?"

SPERiod?

Query :WAVeform:SPERiod?

The SPERiod query returns the present sampling period. The sample period

is determined by the DELay and the RANGe commands of the TIMEbase

subsystem.

Returned Format [:WAVeform:SPERi od ] <period><NL>

<period> time in seconds

Example OUTPUT XXX;":WAVEFORM:SPERIOD?"

TYPE?

Query :WAVeform:TYPE?

The TYPE query returns the presently acquisition type (normal or average).

The acquisition type is specified in the ACQuire Subsystem using the

ACQuire TYPE command.

Returned Format [:WAVeform:TYPE]{NORMal|AVERage}<NL>

Example OUTPUT XXX;":WAVEFORM:TYPE?"

WAVeform Subsystem

SPERiod?
