:CHANnel<N>:PROBe:STYPe
Command :CHANnel<N>:PROBe:STYPe {DIFFerential | SINGle}
The :CHANnel<N>:PROBe:STYPe command sets the channel probe signal
type (STYPe) to differential or single- ended when using the 113xA series
probes, 1168A probe, and 1169A probe. This setting determines how offset
is applied.
When single- ended is selected, the :CHANnel<N>:PROBe:EXTernal:OFFset
command changes the offset value of the probe amplifier. When differential
is selected, the :CHANnel<N>:PROBe:EXTernal:OFFset command changes
the offset value of the channel amplifier.
<N> An integer, 1 - 4
Example This example sets the probe mode to single- ended.
