Defines the number of divisions on the Y-axis. An even number
from 4 to 30 must be used. Once set, it is commonly applied to
all traces displayed in any rectangular format within that
channel.
Defines the number of increments per division on the Y-axis.
The value applies only to the active trace.
Defines the position of the reference line. The position must be
specified using the number assigned to each division on the
Y-axis starting at 0 (the least significant) running up to the
number of divisions being used (the most significant). The
position applies only to the active trace.
