    What's New What's New in Version 4.00 New features in version 4.00 of the 6000 Series oscilloscope software are: • The ability to :AUToscale selected channels only and specify the acquisition type and mode that is set after an :AUToscale. •...
  • Page 21 What's New Changed Commands Command Differences :AUToscale (see page 105) You can now specify which channels to autoscale. :BLANk (see page 109) Now, you can also use this command with digital channel buses. :DIGitize (see page 111) Now, you can also use this command with digital channel buses.

  • Page 22: What's New In Version 3.50

    What's New What's New in Version 3.50 New features in version 3.50 of the 6000 Series oscilloscope software are: • The CAN and LIN options have been added to the :SBUS:MODE (serial decode mode) command. • The :SBUS:CAN:COUNt commands have been added to count CAN bus frames, count load utilization, and reset the counters.
  • Page 23 What's New Command Description :TRIGger:LIN:SAMPlepoint (see page 402) Sets the point during the bit time where the bit level is sampled to determine whether the bit is dominant or recessive. The sample point represents the percentage of time between the beginning of the bit time to the end of the bit time.

  • Page 439 Commands by Subsystem The number of points transferred to the computer is controlled using the :WAVeform:POINts command (see page 449). If :WAVeform:POINts MAXimum is specified and the instrument is not running (stopped), all of the points that are displayed are transferred. This can be as many as 4,000,000 in some operating modes or as many as 8,000,000 for a digital channel on the mixed signal oscilloscope.
  • Page 440 Commands by Subsystem corresponds to one point away from the right side of the screen. The maximum number of points that can be returned in average mode is 1000 unless ACQuire:COUNt has been set to 1. PEAK Data Peak detect display mode is used to detect glitches for time base settings of 500 us/div and slower.
  • Page 441 Commands by Subsystem In converting a data value to time, the time value of a data point can be determined by the position of the data point. For example, the fourth data point sent with :WAVeform:XORigin = 16 ns, :WAVeform:XREFerence = 0, and :WAVeform:XINCrement = 2 ns, can be calculated using the following formula: time = [(data point number - xreference) * xincrement] + xorigin...

    Status Reporting Status Byte Register (STB) The Status Byte Register is the summary- level register in the status reporting structure. It contains summary bits that monitor activity in the other status registers and queues. The Status Byte Register is a live register.
  • Page 547 Status Reporting The next program prints 0xD1 and clears bit 6 (RQS) and bit 4 (MAV) of the Status Byte Register. The difference in the output value between this example and the previous one is the value of bit 6 (weight = 64). Bit 6 is set when the first enabled summary bit is set and is cleared when the Status Byte Register is read by the serial poll command.

  • Page 548: Service Request Enable Register (Sre)

    Status Reporting Service Request Enable Register (SRE) Setting the Service Request Enable Register bits enable corresponding bits in the Status Byte Register. These enabled bits can then set RQS and MSS (bit 6) in the Status Byte Register. Bits are set in the Service Request Enable Register using the *SRE command and the bits that are set are read with the *SRE? query.

    Status Reporting Trigger Event Register (TER) This register sets the TRG bit in the status byte when a trigger event occurs. The TER event register stays set until it is cleared by reading the register or using the *CLS command. If your application needs to detect multiple triggers, the TER event register must be cleared after each one.

    Status Reporting Output Queue The output queue stores the oscilloscope- to- controller responses that are generated by certain instrument commands and queries. The output queue generates the Message Available summary bit when the output queue contains one or more bytes. This summary bit sets the MAV bit (bit 4) in the Status Byte Register.
