5 Commands by Subsystem
Command Types Three types of commands are used:
• Common (*) Commands — See "Introduction to Common (*)
Commands" on page 99 for more information.
• Root Level (:) Commands — See "Introduction to Root (:) Commands"
on page 124 for more information.
• Subsystem Commands — Subsystem commands are grouped together
under a common node of the "Command Tree" on page 663, such as the
:TIMebase commands. Only one subsystem may be selected at any given
time. When the instrument is initially turned on, the command parser is
set to the root of the command tree; therefore, no subsystem is
selected.
":SAVE Commands" on page 357 Save oscilloscope setups and traces, screen
images, and data.
":SBUS Commands" on page 373 Control oscilloscope functions associated with
the serial decode bus.
":SYSTem Commands" on page 391 Control basic system functions of the
oscilloscope.
":TIMebase Commands" on page 400 Control all horizontal sweep functions.
":TRIGger Commands" on page 411 Control the trigger modes and parameters for
each trigger type.
":WAVeform Commands" on page 500 Provide access to waveform data.
