Layouts are defined row by row (horizontal layouts) or column by column (vertical lay-
outs).
●
A horizontal layout consists of N rows, each of height h
i
(i = 1 to N). The heights
are defined in units relative to the total height of the screen, i.e. their sum h
1
+ h
2
+ ... h
N
must be equal to 1.00.
Each row contains a selectable number of diagrams with independent widths w
ij
(j
= 1, 2 ...M(i)). The sum of the widths in each row must also match the screen width,
hence w
i1
+ w
i2
+ ... w
iM(i)
= 1.00 for all rows (i = 1 to N).
The <LayoutData> string for horizontal layouts reads 'h
1
,w
11
,w
12
...
w
1M(1)
;h
2
,w
12
,w
22
... w
2M(2)
; ... ;h
N
, w

'.
A semicolon separates different rows, a comma separates different diagram widths
within a row.
●
The definition of a vertical layout is analogous, however, the role of rows and col-
umns is interchanged.
The query returns the layout data in an alternative, executable format. The executable
format is also used by DISPlay:LAYout:EXECute.
Use DISPlay:LAYout:JOIN or DISPlay:LAYout:EXECute to create more compli-
cated (nested) layouts.
Note: The maximum number of diagrams in a layout is 256.
Parameters:
<LayoutFormatMode>HORizontal | VERTical
Horizontal or vertical layout; see above.
<LayoutData> String parameter defining the number of diagrams and their
position (easy format); see above.
Parameters for setting and query:
<LayoutId> Integer value 1, 2 ...
Current number, used by other DISPlay:LAYout... com-
mands to reference the created layout.
Example: See Creating Diagrams
Manual operation: See "Additional Functionality: SCPI Commands" on page 687
DISPlay:LAYout:EXECute <LayoutData>
Creates and displays a horizontal or vertical display layout. The query returns the lay-
out data of the currently displayed layout (the last layout selected via DISPlay:
LAYout:APPLy) in executable format.
The executable format is an extension of the easy format used by DISPlay:LAYout:
DEFine.
●
The <LayoutData> string consists of two parts: <LayoutData> = '(<StartFor-
mat>,<RepeatFormat
1
>,<Repeat Format
2
> ...). The <StartFormat> descriptor dis-
tinguishes between horizontal and vertical layouts and defines the number of rows
or columns. A <RepeatFormat> descriptor follows for each row or colum in the lay-
