Trace C Operation
:TRACe3:OPERation
Description: This command specifies how successive traces are combined to produce
the resulting display values.
Setting the operation to MAXHold is equivalent to pressing
Shift-5 (Trace), Trace C Operations, Max Hold→C 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 C Operations, Min Hold→C on the front panel. This
displays the smallest signal for each display point over multiple sweeps.
Setting the operation to A-B is equivalent to pressing Shift-5 (Trace),
Trace C Operations, A-B→C. This displays the difference between
Trace A and Trace B values in Trace C.
Setting the operation to B-A is equivalent to pressing Shift-5 (Trace),
Trace C Operations, B-A→C. This displays the difference between
Trace B and Trace A values in Trace C.
The query version of the command returns the current operation mode
or “NONE” if no operation is set.
