Annex: Automatic Settings for Manual Selection of a 
Measurement Mode 
When the measurement mode of a sensor is manually selected (SensorÆMode), automatic settings are 
made for the trigger system and timing, which cannot be changed by manual control. This considerably 
simplifies operation. These settings are not changed when the measurement mode is selected by 
remote control (SENSe:FUNCtion) and have to be set to the desired value by appropriate SCPI 
commands. 
The following table lists the respective setting capabilities and the values that are automatically set in 
manual control.
