1. :TIMebase:MODE
Command Format:
:TIMebase:MODE <mode>
:TIMebase:MODE?
Function Explanation:
The commands are used to set and query the time base mode. The options of
<mode> are “MAIN” (main timebase) and “DELayed” (delayed scan).
Returned Format:
Query returns “MAIN” or “DELAYED”.
Example:
:TIM:MODE MAIN Set the horizontal timebase mode as “MAIN”
:TIM:MODE? Query returns “MAIN”
2. :TIMebase[:DELayed]:OFFSet
Command Format:
:TIMebase[:DELayed]:OFFSet <offset>
:TIMebase[:DELayed]:OFFSet?
Function Explanation:
The commands are used to adjust the timebase offset in “MAIN” or “Delayed”
mode.
In Normal mode, the range of <offset> is 1s~ momery depth/(2* sample
rate);
In STOP mode, the range of <offset> is -500s~+500s;
In SCAN mode, the range of <offset> is -6*Scale~+6*Scale,“Scale” indicates
the current horizontal scale, the default unit is s/div.
When “MAIN” is “ON”, [: DELayed] should be omitted, the range of <offset>
is: MainOffset+6*(DelayScale-MainScale)
~ MainOffset+6*(MainScale-DelayScale)
Returned Format:
Query returns the set value of <offset> in scientific numeric notation in s.
