1. :TIMebase:MODE
Command Format:
:TIMebase:MODE <mode>
:TIMebase:MODE?
Function:
The command sets the scan mode of horizontal timebase as MAIN (main time
base) or DELayed (zoomed scan time base).
Returned Format:
The query returns MAIN or DELAYED.
Example:
:TIM:MODE MAIN Set the scan mode as main time base.
:TIM:MODE? Return MAIN.
2. :TIMebase[:MAIN]:OFFSet
Command Format:
:TIMebase[:MAIN]:OFFSet <offset>
:TIMebase:MAIN:OFFSet?
Function:
The command sets the timebase offset of main mode, that is the offset of the
waveform position relative to center screen.
In NORMAL mode, <offset>: 1s ~ memory capacitance;
In STOP mode, <offset>: -500s ~ +500s;
In SCAN mode, <offset>:
( -6*MainScale + 6*DelayedScale) ~ ( 6*MainScale – 6*DelayedScale)
Scale is the current horizontal scale, and the unit is s/div.
Returned Format:
The query returns the value of timebase offset, and the unit is s.
Example:
:TIM:MODE MAIN Set the scan mode as main.
:TIM:OFFS 1 Set the timebase offset as 1s.
