DESCRIPTION The TIME_DIV command modifies the 
timebase setting. The new timebase setting may 
be specified with suffixes: NS for nanoseconds, 
US for microseconds, MS for milliseconds, S 
for seconds, or KS for kiloseconds. An out-of-
range value causes the VAB bit (bit 2) in the 
STB register to be set. 
The TIME_DIV? query returns the current 
timebase setting.
