Horizontal Commands
Horizontal commands control the time bases of the digitizing oscilloscope. You
can set the time per division (or time per point) of both the main and delay time
bases. You can also set the record lengths. Table 2–12 lists these commands.
You may substitute SECdiv for SCAle in the horizontal commands. This
provides program compatibility with earlier models of Tektronix digitizing
oscilloscopes.
