TRIGger Commands
[:EDGE]:SWEep
[:EDGE]:SWEep
Command :TRIGger[:EDGE]:SWEep {AUTO | NORMal}
The :TRIGger[:EDGE]:SWEep command selects the oscilloscope sweep mode.
<AUTO>
When you select AUTO, if a trigger event does not occur within a time
determined by the oscilloscope settings, the oscilloscope automatically forces
a trigger which causes the oscilloscope to sweep. If the frequency of your
waveform is 20 Hz or less, you should not use the AUTO sweep mode because
it is possible that the oscilloscope will automatically trigger before your
waveform trigger occurs.
<NORMal>
When you select MORMal, if no trigger occurs, the oscilloscope will not sweep,
and no waveform data will appear on the screen.
