Addressing Traces and Channels
The analyzer provides a variety of schemes for addressing traces and channels and for
querying trace and channel names. The following tables give an overview.
Table 10-2: Addressing channels
Method
Commands / Example
Channel number <Ch> as a numeric suffix
CONFigure:CHANnel<Ch>[:STATe] ON
Query all channel names
CONFigure:CHANnel:CATalog?
(returns the
names of all channels)
Assign or query channel name of a channel num-
bered <Ch>
CONFigure:CHANnel<Ch>:NAME 'ABCD'
CONFigure:CHANnel<Ch>:NAME?
(returns
'
ABCD
')
Query channel number assigned to a channel
named 'ABCD'
CONFigure:CHANnel<Ch>:NAME:ID? 'ABCD'
(returns the actual channel number, the channel suf-
fix is ignored)
Table 10-3: Addressing traces
Method
Commands / Example
Channel number <Chn> used as a reference for the
active trace in the channel
CALCulate<Chn>:MARKer<Mk>[:STATe] ON
Trace name (string variable) used as a reference for
the trace
CALCulate<Ch>:PARameter:DELete '<Trace
Name>'
Trace number <Trc> as a numeric suffix (exception!)
CONFigure:TRACe<Trc>:NAME?
Trace number <WndTr> within a particular diagram
area <Wnd>
DISPlay:WINDow<Wnd>:TRACe<WndTr>:FEED
Query all trace names
CONFigure:TRACe:CATalog?
(returns the names
of all traces)
Assign or query trace name of a trace numbered
<Trc>
CONFigure:TRACe<Trc>:NAME 'ABCD'
CONFigure:TRACe<Trc>:NAME?
(returns '
ABCD
')
Query trace number assigned to a trace named
'ABCD'
CONFigure:TRACe<Trc>:NAME:ID? 'ABCD'
(returns the actual trace number; the trace suffix is
ignored)
Table 10-4: Mixed commands
Method
Commands / Example
Query channel name for a trace referenced by its
trace name
CONFigure:TRACe<Trc>:CHANnel:NAME?
'ABCD' (returns the channel name for trace '
ABCD
';
the trace suffix is ignored)
Query channel number for a trace referenced by its
trace name
CONFigure:TRACe<Trc>:CHANnel:NAME:ID?
'ABCD'
(returns the actual channel number for
trace '
ABCD
'; the trace suffix is ignored)
