Description These commands are used to enable or disable auto resolution for the specified function. With
auto resolution selected, the instrument will automatically select the optimum display resolu-
tion. The resolution selected by the instrument is summarized by Tables 4-21 through 4-25.
The ONCE parameter is analogous to a momentary toggle switch. When :AUTO ONCE is sent,
auto resolution will turn on momentarily and then disable. While enabled, resolution will be se-
lected automatically. Auto resolution will then disable but the selected value will be retained.
The auto resolution command (:DIGits:AUTO) is coupled to the command that manually selects
resolution (:DIGits <n>). When auto resolution is enabled, the parameter value for :DIGits
<n> changes to the automatically selected resolution value. Thus, when auto resolution is dis-
abled, the instrument will remain at the automatically selected resolution.
