156 Agilent InfiniiVision 6000 Series Oscilloscopes Programmer's Guide
5 Commands by Subsystem
:AUToscale
(see page 798)
Command Syntax
:AUToscale
:AUToscale [<source>[,..,<source>]]
<source> ::= CHANnel<n> for the DSO models
<source> ::= {DIGital0,..,DIGital15 | POD1 | POD2 | CHANnel<n>} for the
MSO models
<n>::={1|2|3|4}forthefour channel oscilloscope models
<n> ::= {1 | 2} for the two channel oscilloscope models
The <source> parameter may be repeated up to 5 times.
The :AUToscale command evaluates all input signals and sets the correct
conditions to display the signals. This is the same as pressing the
Autoscale key on the front panel.
If one or more sources are specified, those specified sources will be
enabled and all others blanked. The autoscale channels mode (see
":AUToscale:CHANnels" on page 159) is set to DISPlayed channels. Then,
the autoscale is performed.
When the :AUToscale command is sent, the following conditions are
affected and actions are taken:
• Thresholds.
• Channels with activity around the trigger point are turned on, others
are turned off.
• Channels are reordered on screen; analog channel 1 first, followed by
the remaining analog channels, then the digital channels 0- 15.
• Delay is set to 0 seconds.
• Time/Div.
The :AUToscale command does not affect the following conditions:
• Label names.
• Trigger conditioning.
The :AUToscale command turns off the following items:
• Cursors.
• Measurements.
• Trace memories.
• Zoomed (delayed) time base mode.
For further information on :AUToscale, see the User's Guide.
