Setting Up the Instrument
A typical oscilloscope setup would set the vertical range and offset voltage, the
horizontal range, delay time, delay reference, trigger mode, trigger level, and
slope. An example of the commands that might be sent to the oscilloscope are:
:CHANNEL1:PROBE 10;RANGE 16;OFFSET 1.00<terminator>
:TIMEBASE:MODE NORMAL;RANGE 1E-3;DELAY 100E-6<terminator>
Vertical is set to 16V full-scale (2 V/div) with center of screen at 1V and probe
attenuation set to 10. This example sets the time base at 1 ms full-scale
(100 ms/div) with a delay of 100 ms.
