ACQUISITION
TIME_DIV, TDIV
Command/Query
DESCRIPTION
The TIME_DIV command modifies the timebase setting. The new
timebase setting can be specified with units: NS for nanoseconds,
US for microseconds, MS for milliseconds, S for seconds, or KS for
kiloseconds. Alternatively, you can use exponential notation: 10E-6,
for example. An out-of-range value causes the VAB bit (bit 2) in the
STB register (see table on page 225) to be set.
The TIME_DIV? query returns the current timebase setting.
COMMAND SYNTAX
Time_DIV <value>
<value> : = See the Operator’s Manual for specifications.
The unit S (seconds) is optional.
