:SYSTem:PRECision

(see page 750)

Command Syntax

:SYSTem:PRECision <value>

<value> ::= {{1 | ON} | {0 | OFF}}

The :SYSTem:PRECision command turns the oscilloscope's precision

analysis setting on or off.

• OFF (0) — provides the maximum oscilloscope waveform update rate by

performing measurements and math functions on a 1000- point

measurement record.

• ON (1) — at the expense of oscilloscope waveform update rate, this

setting allows measurements and math functions to be performed on a

precision analysis record (see ":WAVeform:POINts:MODE" on page 604).

The precision analysis setting is OFF after a *RST command.

Precision analysis is not available when:

• Realtime sampling mode is off.

• Averaging or High Resolution acquisition modes are selected.

• XY or Roll time modes are selected.

Query Syntax

:SYSTem:PRECision?

The :SYSTem:PRECision? query returns the current precision analysis

setting.

Return Format

<value> ::= {1 | 0}
