RIGOL Chapter 2 Command System
2-2 MSO5000 Programming Guide
Note:
1. Unless otherwise specified, the descriptions in this manual all take MSO5354 as an example.
2. For the parameter setting command (time, frequency, amplitude, etc.), the digital oscilloscope can only
recognize the numbers, unable to recognize the unit sent together with them. The unit of the
parameter is a default one. For the default units of various parameters, refer to the descriptions for the
specified command.
:AUTOscale
Syntax
:AUTOscale
Description
Enables the waveform auto setting function. The oscilloscope will automatically adjust the
vertical scale, horizontal time base, and trigger mode according to the input signal to
realize optimal waveform display. This command functions the same as the AUTO key on
the front panel.
Remarks
 When the AUTO function is disabled, this command is invalid. For details, refer
to :SYSTem:AUTOscale.
 When the pass/fail test is enabled, the AUTO function runs normally, but the pass/fail
test function is forced to be disabled.
 When the waveform recording function is enabled or the recorded waveforms are
played back, the AUTO function runs normally, but the recording or playing function is
forced to be disabled.
:CLEar
Syntax
:CLEar
Description
Clears all the waveforms on the screen. This command functions the same as the CLEAR
key on the front panel.
:RUN
:STOP
Syntax
:RUN
:STOP
Description
The :RUN command starts the oscilloscope and the :STOP command stops the
oscilloscope. This command functions the same as the RUN/STOP key on the front
panel.
Remarks
When the waveform recording function is enabled, the RUN/STOP key on the front panel
is disabled.
