sampling, or synchronous sampling. The parameters are:
Power-on type = ANA.
Default type = ANA.
Remarks • Bandwidth limitations vary with the conversion technique selected. See the
Specifications in Appendix A for details.
• Query Command. The SETACV? query command returns the present AC
measurement method. Refer to "Query Commands" near the front of this chapter
for more information.

SLOPE
SLOPE is used in conjunction with the LEVEL command and specifies which
slope of the signal will be used by the level-detection circuitry.
Syntax SLOPE [slope]
slope
Selects the positive-going or negative-going slope of the input signal for use by
the level detection circuitry. The choices are:
Power-on slope = POS.
Default slope = POS.
Remarks • Query Command. The SLOPE? query command returns the present slope.
