Command Syntax

TDS Family Oscilloscope Programmer Manual

2–5

Any commands that follow will be processed as if the star command was not

there so

ACQuire:MODe ENVelope;*TRG;NUMAVg 10

will set the acquisition mode to envelope and set the number of acquisitions

for averaging to 10.

4. When you concatenate queries, the responses to all the queries are concate-

nated into a single response message. For example, if the display intensity

for text is 80% and for the waveform it is 90%, the concatenated query

DISplay:INTENsity:TEXt?;WAVEform?

will return either :DISPLAY:INTENSITY:TEXT 80;:DISPLAY:INTENSIĆ

TY:WAVEFORM 90 if header is on or 80;90 if header is off.

5. Set commands and queries may be concatenated in the same message. For

example,

ACQuire:MODe NORMal;NUMAVg?;STATE?

is a valid message that sets the acquisition mode to normal. The message

then queries the number of acquisitions for averaging and the acquisition

state. Concatenated commands and queries are executed in the order

received.

Here are some invalid concatenations:

H DISPlay:INTENsity:TEXt 80;ACQuire:NUMAVg 10

(no colon before ACQuire)

H DISPlay:INTENsity:TEXt 80;:WAVEform 90

(extra colon before WAVEform — could use DISPlay:INTENsity:WAVEform

instead)

H DISPlay:INTENsity:TEXt 80;:*TRG

(colon before a star (*) command)

H APPMenu:LABel:BOTTOM1 "foo";LABel:BOTTOM2 "fee"

(levels of the mnemonics are different — either remove the second use of

LABel: or place :APPMenu: in front of LABel:BOTTOM2)

This manual uses <EOM> (End of message) to represent a message terminator.
