5 Commands by Subsystem
Command Types Three types of commands are used:
• Common (*) Commands — See "Introduction to Common (*)
Commands" on page 113 for more information.
• Root Level (:) Commands — See "Introduction to Root (:) Commands"
on page 138 for more information.
• Subsystem Commands — Subsystem commands are grouped together
under a common node of the "Command Tree" on page 755, such as the
:TIMebase commands. Only one subsystem may be selected at any given
time. When the instrument is initially turned on, the command parser is
set to the root of the command tree; therefore, no subsystem is
selected.
":RECall Commands" on page 371 Recall previously saved oscilloscope setups
and traces.
":SAVE Commands" on page 377 Save oscilloscope setups and traces, screen
images, and data.
":SBUS Commands" on page 394 Control oscilloscope functions associated with
the serial decode bus.
":SYSTem Commands" on page 419 Control basic system functions of the
oscilloscope.
":TIMebase Commands" on page 429 Control all horizontal sweep functions.
":TRIGger Commands" on page 440 Control the trigger modes and parameters for
each trigger type.
":WAVeform Commands" on page 590 Provide access to waveform data.
