5 Commands by Subsystem
Command Types Three types of commands are used:
• Common (*) Commands — See "Introduction to Common (*)
Commands" on page 128 for more information.
• Root Level (:) Commands — See "Introduction to Root (:) Commands"
on page 153 for more information.
• Subsystem Commands — Subsystem commands are grouped together
under a common node of the "Command Tree" on page 803, 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.
":MEASure Commands" on page 318 Select automatic measurements to be made
and control time markers.
":MTESt Commands" on page 370 Control the mask test features provided with
Option LMT.
":POD Commands" on page 404 Control all oscilloscope functions associated
with groups of digital channels.
":RECall Commands" on page 409 Recall previously saved oscilloscope setups
and traces.
":SAVE Commands" on page 415 Save oscilloscope setups and traces, screen
images, and data.
":SBUS Commands" on page 432 Control oscilloscope functions associated with
the serial decode bus.
":SYSTem Commands" on page 457 Control basic system functions of the
oscilloscope.
":TIMebase Commands" on page 467 Control all horizontal sweep functions.
":TRIGger Commands" on page 479 Control the trigger modes and parameters for
each trigger type.
":WAVeform Commands" on page 628 Provide access to waveform data.
