Syntax
TDR:CH<x>:STE
P:DESkew <NR3>
TDR:CH<x>:STEP:DESkew?
Arguments
NR3 is the percentage of time a t which the step generator for the right channel
asserts the TDR step relative to the left channel. The range is -100 to +100% with
a resolution of 0.1%.
Examples
TDR:CH3:STEP:DESKEW 1.05+001 sets the d eskew between Channel 3 and
Channel 4 to 10.5%.
TDR:CH3:STEP:DESKEW? might return TDR:CH3:STEP:DESKE W
30.00000000000
, indicating that the deskew for Channel 3 is set to 30%.
TDR:CH<x>:STEP:POLarity
This command sets or queries the p olarity (positive- or negative-going) of the
TDR output pulses for the specified channel. The channel is specified by x, which
can be 1 through 8. This is equivalent to toggling the polarity icon between a
rising edge and a falling edge in the TDR Step section of the TDR Setup dialog
box for the specified channel.

Syntax
TDR:CH<x>:STEP:POLarity {PLUS | MINUS}
TDR:CH<x>:STEP:POLarity?
Arguments
PLUS sets positive-going TDR output pulses.
MINUS sets negative-going TDR output pulses.
Examples
TDR:CH2:STEP:POLARITY PLUS sets positive-going TDR output pulses for
Channel 2.
TDR:CH3:STEP:POLARITY? might return TDR: CH3:STEP:POLARITY MINUS,
indicating that negative-going TDR output pulses are set for Channel 3.
TDR:CH<x>:STEP:STATE
This command sets or queries whether the TDR step generator is on or off for the
specified channel. The channel is specified by x, which can be 1 through 8. This is
equivalent to checking the ON control for the specified channel in the TDR Step
section of the TDR Setup dialog box.
