Agilent Technologies 5000 Series manual WAVeformSOURce, Is FUNCtion or Math

3Commands by Subsystem

:WAVeform:SOURce

(see page 530)

Command Syntax :WAVeform:SOURce <source>

<source> ::= {CHANnel<n> FUNCtion MATH}

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

	The :WAVeform:SOURce command selects the analog channel or function to
	be used as the source for the :WAVeform commands.
	Function capabilities include add, subtract, multiply; integrate,
	differentiate, and FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) operations.
Query Syntax	:WAVeform:SOURce?
	The :WAVeform:SOURce? query returns the currently selected source for
	the WAVeform commands.
	MATH is an alias for FUNCtion. The :WAVeform:SOURce? query returns FUNC if the source
N O T E
	is FUNCtion or MATH.
Return Format	<source><NL>
	<source> ::= {CHAN<n> FUNC}
	<n> ::= {1 2 3 4} for the four channel oscilloscope models
	<n> ::= {1 2} for the two channel oscilloscope models

Example Code ' WAVEFORM_DATA - To obtain waveform data, you must specify the

'WAVEFORM parameters for the waveform data prior to sending the

'":WAVEFORM:DATA?" query. Once these parameters have been sent,

'the waveform data and the preamble can be read.

'

'WAVE_SOURCE - Selects the channel to be used as the source for

'the waveform commands.

myScope.WriteString ":WAVEFORM:SOURCE CHAN1"

'WAVE_POINTS - Specifies the number of points to be transferred

'using the ":WAVEFORM:DATA?" query.
