GRID
Command/Query
The GRID command specifies whether the grid should be dis-
played in single, dual or quad~ mode.
In single grid mode all the traces are displayed on a single grid.
In dual grid mode the screen is split into two distinct grids to sepa-
rate the traces. In the dual-channel oscilloscopes, Channel 1 is
always displayed in the upper grid and Channel 2 in the lower grid.
In the 4-channel oscilloscopes, Channels 1 and 2 are always dis-
played in the upper grid and Channels 3 and 4 in the lower grid.
All other waveforms can be vertically positioned anywhere.
In quad grid mode~: Channel 1 is always displayed in the upper
grid, Channel 2 in the second grid, etc. All other waveforms can
be vertically positioned anywhere.
The GRID? query returns the grid mode currently in use.
GRID <grid>
<grid> := {SINGLE, DUAL, QUAD~;}
