Quick Reference to TVS600 & TVS600A Commands This manual provides an abbreviated reference to the commands of TVS600 and TVS600A Series Waveform Analyzers. Use this reference to find the correct syntax for the commands. The commands are grouped by subsystem node and listed in alphabetical order. In general, the term TVS600A includes the TVS600A and the TVS600 models. Some commands apply only to TVS600A models; these commands appear in bold type. Syntax Commands ending with “?” are queries only.
Quick Reference to TVS600 & TVS600A Commands Commands can also include the argument-type enumerated; for this type, the alternative argument forms are listed as follows: Form: Example: Sometimes the forms are combined, for example: which means: (one of CHAN 1, CHAN 2 , CHAN 3, or CHAN 4) OR AATS OR (one of CALC1, CALC2, CALC3, or CALC4) For detailed descriptions of the commands and argu
Quick Reference to TVS600 & TVS600A Commands Commands Some commands in the following list apply only to TVS600A models; these commands appear in bold type. AADVance Commands in the [SENSe:]AADVance subsystem control how auto-advance acquisition records are acquired and transferred to a VXIbus controller.
Quick Reference to TVS600 & TVS600A Commands AVERage Commands in the [SENSe:]AVERage subsystem control averaging (on incoming waveforms) in the SENSe block, which occurs prior to processing of the waveforms by the CALCulate block. AVERage [:STATe][?] :COUNt[?] :TYPE[?] CALCulage Commands in the CALCulate subsystem process and perform measurements on acquisition records.

Quick Reference to TVS600 & TVS600A Commands TRACe? Commands in the Trace subsystem transfer acquisition records or measurement results and their data preambles from the waveform analyzer to the VXIbus controller or to internal REF storage locations. (The data preamble includes scaling and length information for the associated data record.) See the FORMAT subsystem for setting the format for data transfers. The query does not return data until pending acquisitions or calculations complete.
