Commands Listed in Alphabetical Order
DATa:STOP
Sets or queries the last data point that will be transferred when using the CURVe?
query. This allows the transfer of partial waveforms to the c ontroller.
When using the CURVe command, the instrument will stop reading data when
there is no more data to read or when the specified record length is reached. When
the specifie
d record length is reached, this command will be ignored.

CURVe, DATa:STARt
Arguments
NR1 ranges from 1 to the record length and is the last data point that will be
transferred. If this value is greater than the record length, then data will be
transferred up to the record length. If both DATa:STARt and DATa:STOP are
greater than the record length, an execution error will be generated.
If you always want to transfer complete waveforms, just set DATa:STARt to 1 and
DATa:STOP to the maximum record length.
When DATa:STOP is less than DATa:STARt, the stop value will equal
DATa:STARt + (DATa:STARt - DATa:STOP). For example, if DATa:STARt =
30 and DATa:STOP = 20, then the range of data points for the waveform transfer
will equal 30 through 40.
Examples
DATA:STOP 4000 specifies that the waveform transfer will stop at data point
4000.
DATA:STOP? might return DATA:STOP 500, indicating that 500 is the last data
point that will be transferred.
DATa:TIMebase
Sets or queries the DATa:SOUrce associated timebase used to specify the location
of the waveform data to be transferred from the instrument when using the
CURVe? command. The specified timebase must be active and displayed in
order to receive data.
