5 Commands by Subsystem

:CHANnel<n>:SCALe

(see page 798)

Command Syntax

:CHANnel<n>:SCALe <scale>[<suffix>]

<scale> ::= vertical units per division in NR3 format

<suffix> ::= {V | mV}

<n>::={1|2|3|4}forthefour channel oscilloscope models

<n> ::= {1 | 2} for the two channel oscilloscope models

The :CHANnel<n>:SCALe command sets the vertical scale, or units per

division, of the selected channel. When using 1:1 probe attenuation, legal

values for the scale are shown in the following table.

If the probe attenuation is changed, the scale value is multiplied by the

probe's attenuation factor.

Query Syntax

:CHANnel<n>:SCALe?

The :CHANnel<n>:SCALe? query returns the current scale setting for the

specified channel.

Return Format

<scale value> ::= vertical units per division in NR3 format
