Setting Up the Oscilloscope

A typical oscilloscope setup configures the vertical range and offset

voltage, the horizontal range, delay time, delay reference, trigger mode,

trigger level, and slope.

A typical example of the commands sent to the oscilloscope are:

:CHANNEL1:PROBE 10; RANGE 16;OFFSET 1.00<terminator>

:SYSTEM:HEADER OFF<terminator>

:TIMEBASE:RANGE 1E-3;DELAY 100E-6<terminator>

This example sets the time base at 1 ms full-scale (100 μs/div), with

delay of 100 μs. Vertical is set to 16 V full- scale (2 V/div), with

center of screen at 1 V, and probe attenuation of 10.
