ACQUISITION

TIME_DIV, TDIV

Command/Query

DESCRIPTION

The TIME_DIV command modifies the timebase setting. The new
timebase setting can be specified with units: NS for nanoseconds,

US for microseconds, MS for milliseconds, S for seconds, or KS for
kiloseconds. Alternatively, you can use exponential notation: 10E-6,

for example. An out-of-range value causes the VAB bit (bit 2) in the
STB register (see table on page 225) to be set.

The TIME_DIV? query returns the current timebase setting.
