Agilent Technologies 5000 Series manual CHANnelnRANGe, Example Code

Commands by Subsystem 3

:CHANnel<n>:RANGe

(see page 530)

Command Syntax :CHANnel<n>:RANGe <range>[<suffix>]

<range> ::= vertical full-scale range value in NR3 format <suffix> ::= {V mV}

<n> ::= {1 2 3 4} for the four channel oscilloscope models <n> ::= {1 2} for the two channel oscilloscope models

	The :CHANnel<n>:RANGe command defines the full- scale vertical axis of
	the selected channel. When using 1:1 probe attenuation, the range can be
	set to any value from:
	• 16 mV to 40 V.
	If the probe attenuation is changed, the range value is multiplied by the
	probe attenuation factor.
Query Syntax	:CHANnel<n>:RANGe?
	The :CHANnel<n>:RANGe? query returns the current full- scale range
	setting for the specified channel.
Return Format	<range_argument><NL>
	<range_argument> ::= vertical full-scale range value in NR3 format

Example Code	' CHANNEL_RANGE - Sets the full scale vertical range in volts. The
	' range value is 8 times the volts per division.
	myScope.WriteString ":CHANNEL1:RANGE 8" ' Set the vertical range to
	8 volts.
