MAUI Oscilloscopes Remote Control and Automation Manual
OFFSET, OFST
Description
The OFFSET command allows adjustment of the vertical offset of the specified input channel at the probe
tip.
Note: The offset takes into the account the attenuation factor (set by command ATTN, default
1.0) and the sensitivity of the probe attached to the channel input, if any.
The maximum ranges depend on the fixed sensitivity setting. Refer to the product datasheet at
teledynelecroy.com for maximum offset specifications.
If an out-of-range value is entered, the oscilloscope is set to the closest possible value and the VAB bit (bit
2) in the STB register is set.
The OFFSET? query returns the DC offset value of the specified channel at the probe tip.
Command Syntax
<channel>:OFFSET <offset>[V]
<channel>:= <C1 to Cn>
<offset>:= <any valid value>
The unit V is optional.
Query Syntax
<channel>:OFFSET?
Response Format
