Command groups
Display control command group
Display commands can be found in this section as well as the sections of related
components. These commands control general oscilloscope settings, such as the
intensity of the graticule, stacked or overlay display mode, and the fastacq color
palette. Display commands also control how and where waveforms are shown,
their position on screen, and zoom settings applied to the view. For example,
display commands can turn on or off the display of channels or set the selected
source.
Some actions can create a new view which can have its own settings. For example,
adding a histogram will create a new view where the Histogram plot is displayed.
Each view acts as a separate window within the oscilloscope application and can
be rearranged or annotated as desired.
A WaveView is the primary view used for viewing inputs and time-domain
signals. Buses, non-FFT maths, refs, analog and digital channels, and time-trends
are displayed in the WaveView.
A PlotView is used for viewing measurement results and other plotted data.
Histograms, eye diagrams, XY/XYZ plots, FFTs, and other plots are shown in
individual PlotViews.
Each of these views can have separate settings, zoom, cursors, and annotations.
Display commands which are view speci
fi
c have a view parameter in
the programmable interface, such as DISPLAY:WAVEView<x>: ... or
DISPLAY:PLOTView<x>: ... Selected source can also be speci
fi
ed on a per-view
basis. The overall selected source is determined by the selected view and the
selected source within that view.
PlotViews and WaveViews have some differences in command syntax due to
differences in view functionality. For example, WaveViews and PlotViews have
a different zoom model. The commands for specifying the zoom re
fl
ects these
differences, and different command syntax is available depending on the view.
