What's New 1
Agilent InfiniiVision 6000 Series Oscilloscopes Programmer's Guide 37
What's New in Version 4.00
New features in version 4.00 of the InfiniiVision 6000 Series oscilloscope
software are:
• The ability to :AUToscale selected channels only and specify the
acquisition type and mode that is set after an :AUToscale.
• The :BUS command subsystem for controlling up to two buses made up
of digital channels.
• Additional :CALibrate commands for starting the user calibration
procedure, displaying the status of the last user calibration, and
displaying the temperature change since the last user calibration.
More detailed descriptions of the new and changed commands appear
below.
New Commands
Command Description
:AUToscale:AMODE (see page 158) Specifies whether to keep the current
acquisition type and mode after subsequent
autoscales.
:AUToscale:CHANnels (see page 159) Specifies whether to autoscale the currently
displayed channels or all channels.
:BUS<n>:BIT<m> (see page 212) Includes or excludes the selected bit in a bus
definition.
:BUS<n>:BITS (see page 213) Includes or excludes a list of bits in a bus
definition.
:BUS<n>:CLEar (see page 215) Excludes all digital channels from a bus
definition
:BUS<n>:DISPlay (see page 216) Displays or hides the bus on the oscilloscope
display.
:BUS<n>:LABel (see page 217) Assigns a label string to a bus.
:BUS<n>:MASK (see page 218) Includes or excludes bits in a bus definition
according to a mask.
:CALibrate:STARt (see page 224) Starts the user calibration procedure.
:CALibrate:STATus? (see page 225) Displays the summary results of the last user
calibration procedure.
:CALibrate:TEMPerature? (see page 227) Displays the change in temperature since the
last user calibration procedure.
