:TIMebase Commands
Control all horizontal sweep functions. See "Introduction to :TIMebase
Commands" on page 302.
Introduction to
:TIMebase
Commands
The TIMebase subsystem commands control the horizontal (X-axis)
functions and set the oscilloscope to X-Y mode (where channel 1 becomes
the X input and channel 2 becomes the Y input). The time per division,
delay, vernier control, and reference can be controlled for the main and
window (delayed) time bases.
