:EXTernal Trigger Commands 14
Keysight InfiniiVision 1000 X-Series Oscilloscopes Programmer's Guide 253
:EXTernal:POSition
(see page 782)
Command Syntax
:EXTernal:POSition <value>
<value> ::= Ext Trig waveform vertical position in divisions in NR3 form
at.
The :EXTernal:POSition command sets the external trigger input waveform's
veritical position on the oscilloscope display.
When the external trigger input's waveform is displayed (see :EXTernal:DISPlay), a
cyan digital waveform, based on the :EXTernal:LEVel threshold voltage, appears
on the oscilloscope display. This waveform is one division tall, and the base of the
waveform can be positioned from -3.5 divisions to 2.5 divisions.
Query Syntax
:EXTernal:POSition?
The :EXTernal:POSition? query returns, in vertical divisions, the position of the
external trigger input waveform.
Return Format
<value><NL>
