HORizontal[:MAIn]:POSition
This command either positions the waveform horizontally on the dis-
play or returns the horizontal position on the display and is identical to
the HORizontal:POSition command. When Horizontal Delay mode is
turned off, this command is equivalent to adjusting the HORIZONTAL
POSITION knob on the front --panel. When Horizontal Delay mode is
turned on, this command is equivalent to selecting Horizontal/Acquisi-
tion from the Horiz/Acq menu and then choosing a Horizontal Ref
Point value.

Syntax 1
HORizontal:MAIn:POSition <NR3>
Syntax 2
HORizontal:MAIn:POSition?
Arguments
H <NR3>
This argument can range from 0 to ≈100 and is the percentage of the
waveform that is displayed left of the center graticule.
Note: The upper limit of the waveform position is slightly limited by
a value that is determined from the record length (upper limit = 100 --
1/record length).
Example 1
HORizontal:MAIn:POSition 5.000E+01
This command sets the horizontal position of the waveform such that
10 percent of the waveform is to the left of center of the screen.
Example 2
HORizontal:MAIn:POSition?
This query might return
:HORIZONTAL:MAIN:POSITION 5.0000E+01
This indicates that the horizontal position of the waveform on the
screen is currently set to 50 percent.
