scale. 
Return 
Format 
The query returns the offset of the delayed time base in scientific notation. 
Example 
:TIMebase:DELay:OFFSet 0.000002 /*Sets the offset of the delayed time base to 2 
μs.*/ 
:TIMebase:DELay:OFFSet? /*The query returns 2.000000E-6.*/ 
:TIMebase:DELay:SCALe 
Syntax  :TIMebase:DELay:SCALe <scale> 
:TIMebase:DELay:SCALe? 
Description 
Sets or queries the scale of the delayed time base. The default unit is s/div. 
Parameter 
Name 
Type 
Range 
Default 
<scale> 
Real 
Refer to Remarks 
500 ns/div 
Remarks    The maximum value of the parameter <scale> is the current main time 
base scale, and the minimum value is 50/(current sample rate × 
magnification times). 
  The delayed time base scale can only be the maximum value or the values 
acquired by reducing from the maximum value at 1-2-5 step. If the 
minimum value calculated from the above formula is not one of the settable 
values, take the minimum settable value that is greater than the minimum 
value calculated. 
Return Format 
The query returns the delayed time base scale in scientific notation. 
Example  :TIMebase:DELay:SCALe 0.00000005 /*Sets the delayed time base scale to 50 
ns/div.*/ 
:TIMebase:DELay:SCALe?  /*The query returns 5.000000E-8.*/ 
:TIMebase[:MAIN]:OFFSet 
Syntax  :TIMebase[:MAIN]:OFFSet <offset> 
:TIMebase[:MAIN]:OFFSet? 
Description 
Sets or queries the offset of the main time base. The default unit is s. 
Parameter 
Name 
Type 
Range 
Default 
<offset> 
Real 
Refer to Remarks 
0 
Remarks    The range of <offset> is related to the current horizontal time base mode 
and the operating status of the oscilloscope. 
Return Format 
The query returns the offset of the main time base in scientific notation. 
Example  :TIMebase:MAIN:OFFSet 0.0002 /*Sets the offset of the main time base to 200 
μs.*/ 
:TIMebase:MAIN:OFFSet? /*The query returns 2.000000E-4.*/
