Arguments
<NR3> is offset, expressed in YUNits.
Examples
WFMINPRE:YZERO 1.5E+0 specifies that the zero reference point for the
incoming waveform is 1.5 V below the center of the data range (given that
WFMInpre:YUNit is set to V).
WFMINPRE:YZERO? might return :WFMINPRE:YZEro 7.5000E-6 indicating
that the zero reference for the incoming waveform is 7.5 μV below the center of
the data range (given that WFMInpre:YUNit is set to V).
WFMOutpre?
Returns waveform transmission and formatting settings for the waveform
specified by the DATa:SOUrce command. Query only.
If the waveform specified by the DATa:SOUrce command is not displayed, the
instrument returns only the waveform transmission parameters (BYT_Nr,
BIT_Nr, ENCdg, BN_Fmt, BYT_Or).
