DISPLAY - HOR_MAGNIFY, HMAG 

The HOR_MAGNIFY command horizontally expands traces (zooms) by a specified factor. Magnification 

factors not within the range of permissible values will be rounded off to the nearest legal value. 
The HOR_MAGNIFY? query returns the current magnification factor. 

Command Syntax 

Hor_MAGnify <factor> 

<factor>:= 1 to 2000 

Query Syntax 

Hor_MAGnify? 

Response Format 

Hor_MAGnify <factor> 

Example 

The following instruction horizontally magnifies traces by a factor of 5:
