The :SMODE command sets the sample mode of the standard waveform. The :SMODE? query
returns the current sample mode.
Command syntax:
SCYCLe
SWAVE:SMODE OCYCLe
OSAMPle
Where,
SCYCLe
Set the standard waveform sample mode to sequential-cycle.
OCYCLe
Set the standard waveform sample mode to one-cycle.
OSAMPle
Set the standard waveform sample mode to one-sample.
For example: WrtCmd( “SWAVE:SMODE OSAMPle” ); set the standard waveform sample mode
to one-sample.
Query syntax: SWAVE:SMODE
?
Return format:
SEQ CYCLE
ONE CYCLE <NL^END>
ONE SAMPLE
Where: SEQ CYCLE is sequence-cycle mode, ONE CYCLE is one-cycle mode, ONE SAMPLE is
one-sample mode.
The :TRIGger[:IMMediate] command is used to trigger a standard waveform measurement.
Command syntax: SWAVE:TRIGger[:IMMediate]
For example: WrtCmd( “SWAVE:TRIG” )
;
NOTE: 1.This command is available only on the <MEAS DISP> page.
2. This command will be ignored if the trigger mode is not set to BUS mode.
3. This command will be ignored when PT50xx is in testing state.
NOTE: The :TRIGger[:IMMediate] command starts a measurement of standard waveform
and PT50xx returns the standard waveform data directly without receiving the FETCh
SWAVE? command. In SEQ CYCLE mode, PT50xx returns standard waveform data when
each sampling test is completed. In ONE CYCLE mode, PT50xx returns the last standard
