SENSe:TRACe:OFFSet:TIME[?] – (<TRIGger:DELay> + 0.005) to 100.0
SENSe:TRACe:OFFSet:TIME is used to specify the start of recording for the Trace mode. It is identical
with the first pixel. The time associated with the last pixel is the time associated with the first pixel plus
the trace length. The start of recording is referenced to the delayed trigger point (settable with the
TRIGger:DELay command). Negative values indicate that the start of recording occurs before the
trigger point.
Due to the hardware limitations of the power sensor, the recording cannot start at any point in time
before the physical trigger event, i.e. the sum of the parameters TRIGger:DELay and
SENSe:TRACe:OFFSet:TIME must be limited at the negative end. This limit amounts to –5 ms.
Example: The trigger delay is set to –500 Ss. This means that the start of recording can be set to occur
max. 4.5 ms before the delayed trigger point.
The query yields the start of recording in seconds, referenced to the delayed trigger.
Default setting: 0.0 [s]
SENSe:TRACe:POINts[?] 1 to 1024
This command defines the time resolution of the measurement result. Each "point" represents a time
interval whose duration is obtained from the trace length (command SENSe:TRACe:TIME) divided by
N–1, where N is the number of "points". The measurement result for a "point" equals the average power
over the associated time interval.
The query yields the number of set "points".
Default setting: 100
SENSe:TRACe:REALtime[?] OFF | ON
SENSe:TRACe:REALtime ON activates realtime processing for the Trace mode so that single events
can also be recorded in this setting. Only one sampling sequence per measurement is recorded. Since
the averaging filter of the sensor is not used, the settings made with SENSe:TRACe:AVERage:STATe
and SENSe:TRACe:AVERage:COUNt are ignored. However, they remain unchanged, and are thus
applied again when realtime processing is deactivated.
The query yields
• 1 for OFF,
• 2 for ON.
Default setting: OFF
SENSe:TRACe:TIME[?] 0.0001 to 0.3
SENSe:TRACe:TIME sets the trace length in the Trace mode. This time period is divided into a number
of equal intervals, in which the average power is determined. The number of intervals equals the
number of test points, which is set with the command SENSe:TRACe:POINts.
The query yields the set length in s.
Default setting: 0.01 [s]
