Notational Symbols
Commands shown in this reference make use of the following notational symbols:
Symbol Function Example
< > Encloses header paths or placeholders <channel>:VOLT_DIV <v_gain>
:= Separates a placeholder from a description of the type
and range of values that may replace it
<v_gain> := 5.0 mV to 2.5 V
{ } Encloses required values, one of which must be used
in the command
TRMD {SINGLE, AUTO, NORM, STOP}
[ ] Encloses optional values
… Indicates the items to its left or right can be repeated
any number of times
Sources
The character n is used to denote the greatest number of an oscilloscope object, such as input channels
or math function traces, supported by your instrument. On a two-channel oscilloscope, C1 through Cn
should be taken to mean C1 and C2, whereas on an eight-channel oscilloscope, C1 through C8, and so
forth.
The following mnemonics may be used where <source> is indicated in commands.
Note: These are the sources supported by legacy commands. Other sources may be available with
the addition of software options (Views, Streams, Histograms, etc.), depending on the operation.
Use XStreamBrowser to check the application Automation object hierarchy.

TA, TB, TC, TD
Math trace names TA, TB, TC, and TD used on legacy LeCroy
instruments have been replaced by F1, F2, F3 and F4,
respectively. Existing programs that utilize the old trace
names will work with MAUI oscilloscopes, but these mne-
monics are not returned in query responses. Instead, the
query will return the corresponding F1, F2, F3, and F4.
User-Defined Parameters P1,....P
n
CUST1,...CUST5
Parameter names CUST1 through CUST5 used on legacy
LeCroy instruments have been replaced by P1, etc. As with
math traces, these mnemonics may be used in programs but
are not returned by queries.
