Common Commands within a Subsystem

Common commands can be received and processed by the oscilloscope
whether they are sent over the bus as separate program messages or
within other program messages. If you have selected a subsystem, and a
common command is received by the oscilloscope, the oscilloscope remains
in the selected subsystem. For example, if the program message
":ACQUIRE:AVERAGE ON;*CLS;COUNT 1024"
is received by the oscilloscope, the oscilloscope turns averaging on, then
clears the status information without leaving the selected subsystem.
If some other type of command is received within a program message, you
must re- enter the original subsystem after the command. For example, the
program message
":ACQUIRE:AVERAGE ON;:AUTOSCALE;:ACQUIRE:AVERAGE:COUNT 1024"
turns averaging on, completes the autoscale operation, then sets the
acquire average count. Here, :ACQUIRE must be sent again after
AUTOSCALE to re- enter the ACQUIRE subsystem and set the count.
