5 Commands by Subsystem

:CHANnel<n>:RANGe

(see page 658)

Command Syntax

:CHANnel<n>:RANGe <range>[<suffix>]

<range> ::= vertical full-scale range value in NR3 format

<suffix> ::= {V | mV}

<n>::={1|2|3|4}forthefour channel oscilloscope models

<n> ::= {1 | 2} for the two channel oscilloscope models

The :CHANnel<n>:RANGe command defines the full- scale vertical axis of

the selected channel. When using 1:1 probe attenuation, the range can be

set to any value from:

• 16 mV to 40 V.

If the probe attenuation is changed, the range value is multiplied by the

probe attenuation factor.

Query Syntax

:CHANnel<n>:RANGe?

The :CHANnel<n>:RANGe? query returns the current full- scale range

setting for the specified channel.

Return Format

<range_argument><NL>

<range_argument> ::= vertical full-scale range value in NR3 format

Example Code

' CHANNEL_RANGE - Sets the full scale vertical range in volts. The

' range value is 8 times the volts per division.

myScope.WriteString ":CHANNEL1:RANGE 8" ' Set the vertical range to

8 volts.
