:WAVeform:SOURce
Syntax :WAVeform:SOURce <source>
:WAVeform:SOURce?
Description
Sets or queries the source channel of waveform data reading.
Parameter
Name
Type
Range
Default
<source> Discrete
{D0|D1|D2|D3|D4|D5|D6|D7|D8|D9|D10|D
11|D12|D13|D14|D15|CHANnel1|CHANnel2
|MATH1|MATH2|MATH3|MATH4}
CHANnel1
Remarks  When the channel source is set to MATH1-MATH4, :WAVeform:MODE can only
select the NORMal mode.
 When the channel source is set to a digital channel, the query
command :WAVeform:DATA?
always returns the waveform data in byte format. If
the command reads the screen waveform data, it returns the signal status of the
currently selected channel source. One waveform point occupies 1 byte (8 bits). If
the command reads the memory waveform data, it returns the signal status of the
channel group where the currently selected channel sources reside. 1 byte
represents the status of one group of digital signals.
Return
Format
The query returns D0, D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, D8, D9, D10, D11, D12, D13, D14,
D15, CHAN1, CHAN2, MATH1, MATH2, MATH3, or MATH4.
Example :WAVeform:SOURce CHANnel2 /*Sets the channel source to CHANnel2.*/
:WAVeform:SOURce? /*The query returns CHAN2.*/
