Item Description/Default
resolution A numeric value for the resolution. If it is
unspecified the current resolution setting is
used. If a value is entered it should correspond
to the current resolution setting otherwise an
error occurs.
source list The channel which the command is
implemented on. If unspecified the current
window setup is used. However, on the

The mnemonic DEF means DEFault. This is not equivalent to the DEFault parameter used in the
command sub-systems. The parameters must be entered in the specified order. If parameters are

DEF leaves the parameter value unchanged.

When the measurement result is linear this parameter represents the number of significant
digits. When the measurement result is logarithmic 1 to 4 represents of 1, 0.1, 0.01 and 0.001
respectively.
occurs. A measurement is valid after it has been initiated. It becomes
