4 Agilent InfiniiVision 6000 Series Oscilloscopes Programmer's Guide
• Chapter 8, Chapter 8, “Error Messages,” starting on page 755, lists the
instrument error messages that can occur while programming the
oscilloscope.
The command descriptions in this reference show upper and lowercase
characters. For example, :AUToscale indicates that the entire command
name is :AUTOSCALE. The short form, :AUT, is also accepted by the
oscilloscope.
Then, there are chapters that describe programming topics and conceptual
information in more detail:
• Chapter 9, Chapter 9, “Status Reporting,” starting on page 763,
describes the oscilloscope's status registers and how to check the status
of the instrument.
• Chapter 10, Chapter 10, “Synchronizing Acquisitions,” starting on page
787, describes how to wait for acquisitions to complete before querying
measurement results or performing other operations with the captured
data.
• Chapter 11, Chapter 11, “More About Oscilloscope Commands,” starting
on page 797, contains additional information about oscilloscope
programming commands.
Finally, there is a chapter that contains programming examples:
• Chapter 12, Chapter 12, “Programming Examples,” starting on page 823.
Mixed-Signal
Oscilloscope
Channel
Differences
Because both the "analog channels only" oscilloscopes (DSO models) and
the mixed- signal oscilloscopes (MSO models) have analog channels, topics
that describe analog channels refer to all oscilloscope models. Whenever a
topic describes digital channels, that information applies only to the
mixed- signal oscilloscope models.
