TRACe Commands

The

TRACe...

commands handle active trace data and trace data stored in the ana-

lyzer's internal memory.

Trace data formats

Trace data is transferred in either ASCII or block data (REAL) format, depending on the

FORMat[:DATA]

setting. If the block data format is used, it is recommended to select

EOI as receive terminator (

SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB[:SELF]:RTERminator

EOI

The commands in the TRACe... menu use the following ZVR-compatible parameters to
specify traces:

TRACe:COPY

Copies a data trace to a memory trace. The trace to be copied can be specified by two
alternative methods:

●

As the active data trace of channels 1 to 4 (

CH1DATA, CH2DATA, CH3DATA,

CH4DATA

). If a mathematical trace is active, the associated data trace is copied.
