SAMPle

The SAMPle command subsystem sets the number of samples to be taken for each trigger. It also sets the number of samples to be taken prior to the trigger and the source of the sample signal and its slope. When the sample source is TIMer, you can set the sample interval.

Subsystem Syntax SAMPle

:COUNt <count> MIN MAX :COUNt? [MIN MAX] [:IMMediate]

:PRETrigger:COUNt <count> MIN MAX :PRETrigger:COUNt? [MIN MAX] :SLOPe POS 1 NEG 0

:SLOPe?

:SOURce HOLD TIMer TTLT0-7 EXT :SOURce?

:TIMer <interval> MIN MAX :TIMer? [MIN MAX]

SAMPle:COUNt

SAMPle:COUNt <count> MIN MAX sets the number of total samples which includes the pre-trigger and post-trigger samples. The number of samples set is common to all channels. You cannot have two or more channels with different sample settings.
