:TIMebase Commands
The :TIMebase commands are used to set the horizontal parameters, such as enabling the delayed sweep
and setting the horizontal timebase mode.
Command List:
 :TIMebase:DELay:ENABle
 :TIMebase:DELay:OFFSet
 :TIMebase:DELay:SCALe
 :TIMebase[:MAIN]:OFFSet
 :TIMebase[:MAIN]:SCALe
 :TIMebase:MODE
:TIMebase:DELay:ENABle
Syntax :TIMebase:DELay:ENABle <bool>
:TIMebase:DELay:ENABle?
Description
Enable or disable the delayed sweep, or query the status of the delayed sweep.
Parameter
Name
Type
Range
Default
<bool>
Bool
{{1|ON}|{0|OFF}}
0|OFF
Explanation Delayed sweep can be used to enlarge a length of waveform horizontally to view
waveform details.
Return Format
The query returns 1 or 0.
Example :TIMebase:DELay:ENABle ON /*Enable the delayed sweep*/
:TIMebase:DELay:ENABle? /*The query returns 1*/
:TIMebase:DELay:OFFSet
Syntax :TIMebase:DELay:OFFSet <offset>
:TIMebase:DELay:OFFSet?
Description
Set or query the delayed timebase offset. The default unit is s.
Parameter
Name Type Range Default
<offset> Real
-(LeftTime - DelayRange/2) to
(RightTime - DelayRange/2)
0
Explanation LeftTime = 6 x MainScale - MainOffset
RightTime = 6 x MainScale + MainOffset
DelayRange = 12 x DelayScale
Wherein, MainScale is the current main timebase scale of the oscilloscope,
MainOffset is the current main timebase offset of the oscilloscope, and DelayScale is
the current delayed timebase scale of the oscilloscope.
Return Format
The query returns the delayed timebase offset in scientific notation.
Example :TIMebase:DELay:OFFSet 0.000002 /*Set the delayed timebase offset to 2μs*/
:TIMebase:DELay:OFFSet? /*The query returns 2.0000000e-06*/
