Description
Sets or queries the scale of the main time base.
Parameter
Name
Type
Range
Default
<scale>
Real
Refer to Remarks
1 μs/div
Remarks The range of <scale> is related to the current horizontal time base mode of the
oscilloscope and its model.
 YT mode
MSO5152-E: 5 ns to 1,000 s
 Roll mode
200 ms to 1,000 s
Return Format
The query returns the main time base scale in scientific notation.
Example :TIMebase:MAIN:SCALe 0.0002 /*Sets the main time base scale to 200 μs/div.*/
:TIMebase:MAIN:SCALe? /*The query returns 2.000000E-4.*/
