Trace A Operation
:TRACe1:OPERation
Description: This command specifies how successive traces are combined to produce
the resulting display values.
Setting the operation to NORMal is equivalent to pressing
Shift-5 (Trace), Trace A Operations, Normal→A on the front panel. This
displays a trace based on the detection method selected.
Setting the operation to MAXHold is equivalent to pressing
Shift-5 (Trace), Trace A Operations, Max Hold→A on the front panel.
This displays the largest signal for each display point over multiple
sweeps.
Setting the operation to MINHold is equivalent to pressing
Shift-5 (Trace), Trace A Operations, Min Hold→A on the front panel. This
displays the smallest signal for each display point over multiple sweeps.
Setting the operation to AVERage is equivalent to pressing
Shift-5 (Trace), Trace A Operations, Average→A on the front panel. This
displays the average value of multiple sweeps for each display point.
The query version of the command returns the current operation mode
or “NONE” if no operation is set.
