30 ENTER 707;Filter$

OFFSet
Command :CHANnel<N>:OFFSet <offset_value>
This command sets the voltage that is represented at the center of the display for the
selected channel. Offset parameters are probe and vertical scale dependent. For TDR and
TDT applications, when the TDR stimulus is set to differential or common mode, the instru-
ment will change offset to magnify offset. This command is used to set the magnify offset as
well as the offset. <N> represents the channel number and is an integer 1 to 4.
N O T E In Jitter Mode, channel scale and offset controls are disabled. Do not use this command in Jitter Mode. It
generates a “Settings conflict” error.
<offset _value>
Offset value at center screen. In TDR mode or with optical channels (any situation with posi-
tive values only), the offset value is positioned two divisions up from the bottom of the grati-
cule as shown in the following picture. The value is usually expressed in volts, but could be in
other measurement units, such as amperes, if you have specified other units using the CHAN-
nel:UNITs command.
Example
This example sets the offset for channel 1 to 0.125 in the current measurement units.
10 OUTPUT 707;":CHANNEL1:OFFSET 125E-3"
Query :CHANnel<N>:OFFSet?
The query returns the current offset value for the specified channel.
Returned Format [CHANnel<N>:OFFSet] <offset value><NL>
Example This example places the offset value of the specified channel in the string variable, Offset$.
10 OUTPUT 707;"SYSTEM:HEADER OFF"
20 OUTPUT 707;"CHANNEL1:OFFSET?"
30 ENTER 707;Offset
