11 Calibration Commands

:CALibrate:SKEW

Command :CALibrate:SKEW CHANnel<N>,<skew_value>

The :CALibrate:SKEW command sets the channel- to- channel skew factor

for a channel. The numeric argument is a real number in seconds, which

is added to the current time base position to shift the position of the

channel's data in time. Use this command to compensate for differences in

the electrical lengths of input paths due to cabling and probes.

<N> An integer, 1 - 4.

<skew_value> A real number, in seconds.

Example This example sets the oscilloscope channel 1 skew to 1 μs.

myScope.WriteString ":CALIBRATE:SKEW CHANNEL1,1E-6"

Query :CALibrate:SKEW? CHANnel<N>

The :CALibrate:SKEW? query returns the current skew value.

Returned Format
