Table 9-1. SCOPE Command Parameters (cont.)
Parameter Description/Example
EDGE Oscilloscope EDGE mode. Programs 25 mV peak-to-peak, 1 MHz, output at the
SCOPE BNC, standby if from OFF or previously in standby. FUNC? returns EDGE.
Example: SCOPE EDGE; OUT 0.5 V, 5 kHz
(Edge, 0.5 V peak-to-peak, 5 kHz.)
LEVSINE Oscilloscope LEVSINE mode. Programs 30 mV peak-to-peak, 50 kHz, output at the
SCOPE BNC, standby if from OFF or previously in standby. FUNC? returns LEVSINE.
Example: SCOPE LEVSINE; OUT 1 V, 50 kHz
(Leveled sine wave, 1 V peak-to-peak, 50 kHz.)
MARKER Oscilloscope MARKER mode. Programs the period to 1 ms, output at the SCOPE
BNC, standby if from OFF or previously in standby. FUNC? returns MARKER.
Example: SCOPE MARKER; OUT 2 MS
(Marker, period of 2 ms.)
WAVEGEN Oscilloscope WAVEGEN mode. Programs 20 mV peak-to-peak, square wave, 1 kHz,
no offset, output impedance 1 MΩ, standby if from OFF or previously in standby.
FUNC? returns WAVEGEN.
Example: SCOPE WAVEGEN; OUT 1 V, 1 kHz
(Wave Generator, 1 V peak-to-peak, 1 kHz.)
VIDEO Oscilloscope VIDEO mode. Programs 100% output (1 V p-p), line marker 10, format
NTSC. FUNC? returns VIDEO.
Examples: SCOPE VIDEO; OUT 90
(Video, 90% output)
SCOPE VIDEO; OUT -70
(Video, -70% output, inverse video)
PULSE Oscilloscope PULSE mode. Programs 100 ns pulse width, 1.000 μs period, 2.5 V
range. FUNC? returns PULSE.
Example: SCOPE PULSE; OUT 50 ns, 500 ns; RANGE TP8DB
(Pulse, 50 ns pulse width, 500 ns period, 1.5 V range)
MEASZ Oscilloscope Impedance/Capacitance measurement (MEAS Z) mode. Programs 50Ω
range. FUNC? returns MEASZ.
Example: SCOPE MEASZ; RANGE TZCAP
(MEAS Z mode, capacitance range)
OVERLD Oscilloscope Overload mode. Programs 5 V dc range. FUNC? returns OVERLD.
Example: SCOPE OVERLD; OUT 7 V; RANGE TOLAC
(Overload, 7 V output, ac range)
SCOPE
(IEEE-488, RS-232, Sequential)
Programs the 5500A-SC600 oscilloscope calibration option hardware, if installed. The
instrument settings are determined by this command’s parameter. Once in SCOPE mode,
use the OUT command to program new output.
