34 Waveform Commands
:WAVeform:SOURce
Command :WAVeform:SOURce {CHANnel<N> | COMMonmode<P> DIFFerential<P>
| FUNCtion<F> | HISTogram | WMEMory<N> | CLOCk
| MTRend | MSPectrum | EQUalized | BUS<N>
| POD1 | POD2 | PODALL}
The :WAVeform:SOURce command selects a channel, function, waveform
memory, or histogram as the waveform source.
MTRend and MSPectrum sources are only available if the oscilloscope has
the EZJIT option installed and the feature is enabled.
The CLOCk source is only available if the oscilloscope has the High Speed
Serial option installed and the feature is enabled.
The EQUalized source is only available if the oscilloscope has the High
Speed Serial option and the Serial Data Equalization option installed and
the features are enabled. This command uses the Feed- Forward Equalized
(FFE) signal as the source.
The COMMonmode and DIFFerential sources are just aliases that can be
used in place of the channel names to apply to differential or common
mode signals. These are just aliases - no state change occurs if you refer
to a differential channel and you are not in differential mode.
DIFFerential1 refers to the differential signal between channels 1 and 3
(and COMMonmode1 refers to the common mode channel between these
same channels). DIFFerential2 refers to the differential signal between
channels 2 and 4 (and COMMonmode2 refers to the common mode
channel between these same channels).
POD1 is the activated digital channels in the D0- D7 set while POD2 is the
activated digital channels in the D8- D15 set. PODALL is all the activated
digital channels.
<N> CHANnel<N> is an integer, 1- 4.
BUS<N> is an integer, 1- 4.
WMEMory<N> is an integer, 1- 4.
<F> FUNCtion<F> is an integer, 1- 16.
<P> An integer, 1-2.
Example This example selects channel 1 as the waveform source.
myScope.WriteString ":WAVeform:SOURce CHANnel1"
Query :WAVeform:SOURce?
The :WAVeform:SOURce? query returns the currently selected waveform
source.
