Timebase Commands
SCALe
Query :TIMebase:REFerence?
The query returns the current delay reference position.
Returned Format [:TIMebase:REFerence] {LEFT | CENTer}<NL>
Example 10 OUTPUT 707;":TIMEBASE:REFERENCE?"
SCALe
Command :TIMebase:SCALe <value>
This command sets the time base scale. This corresponds to the horizontal scale value dis-
played as time/div on the analyzer screen.
N O T E In Jitter Mode, scale and position controls are disabled. Do not use this command in Jitter Mode. It generates a
“Settings conflict” error.
<value>
Value can optionally have units of bits or seconds, refer to Table 1-8 on page 1-25 to view the
suffix units. If no units are specified <value> has units of the current units setting.
seconds:time per division
bits:bits on screen at bit rate setting
Query :TIMebase:SCALe? [{BITS | TIME}]
The query returns the current scale time setting. If the optional parameter is omitted, the
scale value returned is in the units of the current units setting (bits or time).
BITS
bits/screen at bit rate
TIME
seconds/division
Returned Format [:TIMebase:SCALe] <time><NL>
Examples 10 OUTPUT 707;":TIMEBASE:SCALE 10E-3"
UNITs
Command :TIMebase:UNITs {TIME | BITS}
This command sets the time base units.
Query :TIMebase:UNITs?
The query returns the time base units.
Returned Format [:TIMebase:UNITs] {TIME | BITS}<NL>
Example 10 OUTPUT 707;":TIMEBASE:UNITs?"
