:WAVeform Commands

:WAVeform:PREamble

Query Syntax
:WAVeform:PREamble?
The :WAVeform:PREamble query requests the preamble information for the
selected waveform source. The preamble data contains information
concerning the vertical and horizontal scaling of the data of the
corresponding channel.
Return Format
<preamble_block><NL>
<preamble_block> ::= <format 16-bit NR1>,
<format> ::= 0 for BYTE format, 1 for WORD format, 4 for ASCii format;
<type> ::= 2 for AVERage type, 0 for NORMal type, 1 for PEAK detect
<count> ::= Average count or 1 if PEAK or NORMal; an integer in NR1
Y reference = #Vsteps / 2
65536 (if format = WORD)
256 (if format = BYTE)
