:TIMebase:MODE

Command Syntax
:TIMebase:MODE <value>
<value> ::= {MAIN | WINDow | XY | ROLL}
The :TIMebase:MODE command sets the current time base. There are four
time base modes:
• MAIN — The normal time base mode is the main time base. It is the
• WINDow — In the WINDow (zoomed or delayed) time base mode,
• XY — In the XY mode, the :TIMebase:RANGe, :TIMebase:POSition, and
• ROLL — In the ROLL mode, data moves continuously across the display
If a :DIGitize command is executed when the :TIMebase:MODE is not MAIN, the
N O T E
:TIMebase:MODE is set to MAIN.
Query Syntax
