WFMOutpre:PT_OR?
Description
This query--only command specifies whether the source waveform is
Fast Acquisition. A Fast Acquisition waveform is stored as a 200
(vertical) by 500 (horizontal) point bitmap. Each point represents dis-
play intensity for that screen location. Only CURVe? query functions
are allowed on Fast Acquisition waveforms.
When the WFMOutpre:PT_OR query returns Column, this indicates
that the source is a Fast Acquisition waveform (and that each of 500
possible horizontal columns being transmitted contains 200 vertical
points). When the WFMOutpre:PT_OR? query returns Linear, this
indicates that the source is not a Fast Acquisition waveform (and that
each horizontal column being sent contains only one vertical point).
Note that waveform points are transmitted in the following order: top
to bottom, then left to right.
