SAMPle:SLOPe

SAMPle:SLOPe POS 1 NEG 0 sets the slope of the sample signal (the active edge, rising or falling, of the sample signal). The slope setting is common to all channels.

Comments Sample Source Must be EXTernal: This command is effective only when the sample source is EXTernal. The slope is set but will be ignored if the sample source is a source other than EXTernal.

Executable when initiated: NO

Coupled command: NO

Reset (*RST) condition: POSitive (1)

SAMPle:SLOPe?

SAMPle:SLOPe? queries the present setting of the slope of the sample signal. The sample slope is effective only when the sample source is EXTernal.

SAMPle:SOURce

SAMPle:SOURce HOLD TIMer TTLT0-7 EXT sets the source of the sample signal which causes a measurement to be made. The sample source is common to all channels. TIMer uses the internal time base. The EXTernal input is the TTL “Sample” input pin on the front panel External Trigger Input (D-subminiature) connector (left pin column, bottom pin).
