Commands by Subsystem 3
Agilent InfiniiVision 5000 Series Oscilloscopes Programmer's Reference 143
Introduction to
:CHANnel<n>
Commands
<n>::={1|2|3|4}forthefour channel oscilloscope models
<n> ::= {1 | 2} for the two channel oscilloscope models
The CHANnel<n> subsystem commands control an analog channel (vertical
or Y-axis of the oscilloscope). Channels are independently programmable
for all offset, probe, coupling, bandwidth limit, inversion, vernier, and
range (scale) functions. The channel number (1, 2, 3, or 4) specified in the
command selects the analog channel that is affected by the command.
A label command provides identifying annotations of up to 6 characters.
You can toggle the channel displays on and off with the
:CHANnel<n>:DISPlay command as well as with the root level commands
:VIEW and :BLANk.
Reporting the Setup
Use :CHANnel1?, :CHANnel2?, :CHANnel3? or :CHANnel4? to query setup
information for the CHANnel<n> subsystem.
