CH<x>:DESKew
Description
This command sets or queries the deskew time for the specified chan-
nel. The channel is specified by x. The value of x can range from 1
through 4 for four--channel instruments or 1 through 2 for two--channel
instruments. This command is equivalent to selecting Deskew from the
Vertical Setup menu.
You can adjust the deskew time to add an independent, channel--based
delay time to the delay (set by the horizontal position control and com-
mon to all channels) from the common trigger point to first sample tak-
en for each channel. This lets you compensate individual channels for
different delays introduced by their individual input hook ups.
