Display Commands
Description
Writes the "message" text
on
the named row. Values of <NR1 > row numbers
are from 16 (the top row) to 1 (the bottom row). The normal readout displays
are
turned off by the MESsage
<16-1>
command. Changing a front-panel control
that requires a readout overrides the "message"
and
returns the normal readout
display. The MES
[OJ
command turns off the message display
and
also turns the
normal readout displays back
on
(the zero may be omitted from the command).
The message must
be
enclosed
in
quote marks. The displayed message lines
start at the left edge
of
the graticule area. If longer than about
40
characters,
the message runs off the right edge of the CRT. If the message is too long,
it
is
truncated, and a service request is issued (if
ROS
is
ON).
Displaying many message lines can cause display flicker and may exceed the
display memory area.
Stops a plot
in
progress
and
returns to the previous mode. PLOt ABOrt
is
the
only command or query that the oscilloscope responds to during a plot. PLOt
ABOrt turns off the AUTo argument.
Turns the AUTo plot mode
ON
or
OFF.
If AUTo is
ON,
each waveform is plotted
after it is acquired. The graticule will
be
plotted once
in
AUTo, if GRAt
is
ON.
Sets the output data format for the named plotter. If one
of
the named plotters
is not selected, the data is plotted
in
the default
XY
format.
HPGI
formats for
HP-GP compatible plotters. EPS7
and
EPS8 format for 7-bit (low-speed, double-
density)
and
8-bit (high-speed, double-density)
EPSON®
format printers
respectively. T JEt formats for the Hewlett-Packard ThinkJet® printer.
With Option 10, a GPIB controller may direct the plotting operation by
addressing the plotter to listen
and
then addressing the oscilloscope to talk and
giving the PLOt ST Art command.
Turns the plotted graticule either
ON
or
OFF.
The < N R 1 > number must
be
an
integer from 1 to 10
and
changes the analog
plotter
pen
speed. The units are roughly
in
divisions per second.
Starts a plot using the parameters selected
by
PLOt FORmat, PLOt GRAt, and
PLOt SPEed. While a plot is
in
progress,
all
commands
and
queries (except
PLOt ABOrt)
are
ignored.
