Description of settings Acquisition Mode Defines how the waveform is built from the captured samples.
R&S®Scope Rider RTH Waveform Setup Acquisition Control "High Resolution" The average of n captured sample points is recorded as one waveform point. Averaging reduces the noise, the result is a more precise waveform with higher vertical resolution. "Average" The average is calculated from the data of the current acquisition and a number of acquisitions before. The method reduces random noise. It requires a stable, triggered and periodic signal.
R&S®Scope Rider RTH Waveform Setup Trigger 2.5 Trigger Triggering means to capture the interesting part of the relevant waveforms. Choosing the right trigger type and configuring all trigger settings correctly allows you to detect various incidents in signals. A trigger occurs if the trigger conditions are fulfilled. The instrument acquires continuously and keeps the sample points to fill the pretrigger part of the waveform record.
R&S®Scope Rider RTH Waveform Setup Trigger Description of settings Trigger Mode The trigger mode determines the behavior of the instrument if no trigger occurs, and also the number of acquired waveforms when a trigger occurs.

R&S®Scope Rider RTH SCPI Command Structure Syntax for Common Commands Annex A SCPI Command Structure SCPI commands consist of a header and, in most cases, one or more parameters. The header and the parameters are separated by a "white space" (ASCII code 0 to 9, 11 to 32 decimal, e.g. blank). The headers may consist of several mnemonics (keywords). Queries are formed by appending a question mark directly to the header. The commands can be either device-specific or device-independent (common commands).
R&S®Scope Rider RTH SCPI Command Structure Syntax for Device-Specific Commands A.2 Syntax for Device-Specific Commands Not all commands used in the following examples are necessarily implemented in the instrument. For demonstration purposes only, assume the existence of the following commands for this section: ● DISPlay[:WINDow<1...
R&S®Scope Rider RTH SCPI Command Structure Syntax for Device-Specific Commands A.2.2 Numeric Suffixes If a command can be applied to multiple instances of an object, e.g. specific channels or sources, the required instances can be specified by a suffix added to the command. Numeric suffixes are indicated by angular brackets (<1...4>, , ) and are replaced by a single value in the command. Entries without a suffix are interpreted as having the suffix 1.
R&S®Scope Rider RTH SCPI Command Structure SCPI Parameters A.3 SCPI Parameters Many commands are supplemented by a parameter or a list of parameters. The parameters must be separated from the header by a "white space" (ASCII code 0 to 9, 11 to 32 decimal, e.g. blank). The parameters required for each command and the allowed range of values are specified in the command description. Allowed parameters are: ● ● ● ● ● ● Numeric Values...........................................................................
R&S®Scope Rider RTH SCPI Command Structure SCPI Parameters Example: HCOP:PAGE:SCAL 90PCT A.3.2 Special Numeric Values The following mnemonics are special numeric values. In the response to a query, the numeric value is provided. ● MIN and MAX: denote the minimum and maximum value. ● DEF: denotes a preset value which has been stored in the EPROM. This value conforms to the default setting, as it is called by the *RST command. ● UP and DOWN: increases or reduces the numeric value by one step.
R&S®Scope Rider RTH SCPI Command Structure SCPI Parameters Example: Setting command: HCOPy:DEV:COL ON Query: HCOPy:DEV:COL? Response: 1 A.3.4 Text Parameters Text parameters observe the syntactic rules for mnemonics, i.e. they can be entered using a short or long form. Like any parameter, they have to be separated from the header by a white space. In the response to a query, the short form of the text is provided.
R&S®Scope Rider RTH SCPI Command Structure Overview of Syntax Elements A.4 Overview of Syntax Elements The following tables provide an overview of the syntax elements and special characters. Table A-2: Syntax elements : The colon separates the mnemonics of a command. ; The semicolon separates two commands of a command line. It does not alter the path. , The comma separates several parameters of a command. ? The question mark forms a query. * The asterisk marks a common command.
R&S®Scope Rider RTH SCPI Command Structure Structure of a Command Line Table A-3: Special characters | Parameters A vertical stroke in parameter definitions indicates alternative possibilities in the sense of "or". The effect of the command differs, depending on which parameter is used.
R&S®Scope Rider RTH SCPI Command Structure Responses to Queries Example: HCOP:ITEM ALL;:HCOP:IMM This command line contains two commands. Both commands are part of the HCOP command system, i.e. they have one level in common. If the successive commands belong to the same system, having one or several levels in common, the command line can be abbreviated. When abbreviating the command line, the second command begins with the level below HCOP. The colon after the semicolon is omitted.
R&S®Scope Rider RTH Command Sequence and Synchronization Preventing Overlapping Execution B Command Sequence and Synchronization IEEE 488.2 defines a distinction between overlapped (asynchronous) and sequential commands: ● A sequential command finishes executing before the next command starts executing. Commands that are processed quickly are usually implemented as sequential commands.
