TIME_DIV,TDIV
Command/Query
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.
