:TIMebase:MODE
Command Syntax
:TIMebase:MODE <value>
<value> ::= {MAIN | WINDow | XY | ROLL}
The :TIMebase:MODE command sets the current time base. There are four time
base modes:
• MAIN — The normal time base mode is the main time base. It is the default time
base mode after the *RST (Reset) command.
• WINDow — In the WINDow (zoomed or delayed) time base mode,
measurements are made in the zoomed time base if possible; otherwise, the
measurements are made in the main time base.
• XY — In the XY mode, the :TIMebase:RANGe, :TIMebase:POSition, and
:TIMebase:REFerence commands are not available. No measurements are
available in this mode.
• ROLL — In the ROLL mode, data moves continuously across the display from
left to right. The oscilloscope runs continuously and is untriggered. The
:TIMebase:REFerence selection changes to RIGHt.
