Commands and Queries

Commands and Queries
The following tables facilitate easy access to each command and query for the
oscilloscopes. The commands and queries are divided into separate categories
with each entry alphabetized.
The arguments for each command list the minimum argument required. The
part of the command or query listed in uppercase letters refers to the short form
of that command or query. The long form is the combination of the uppercase
and lowercase letters. The NR1 and NR3 formats refer only to the Query Return
values. Input arguments are not restricted by these formats.
These commands also show specific information about how command operates
on a particular oscilloscope model. For additional information, refer to the
online oscilloscopes Programmer's Reference help file.
