QUERY SYNTAX : WaveForm?
: = {F1,F2,F3,F4,F5,F6,F7,F8,TA,TB,
TC,TD,M1,M2,M3,M4,C1,C2,C3,C4}
. TA through TD are
for compatibility with existing software with earlier instruments.
These four mnemonics are not returned by queries.
: = {DESC, TEXT, TIME, DAT1, DAT2, ALL}
If you do not give a parameter, ALL will be assumed.
RESPONSE FORMAT : WaveForm ,
T T I I P P : : It may be convenient to disable the response header if the
waveform is to be restored. See the
COMM_HEADER
command
for further details.
AVAILABILITY
: = {C3, C4} only available on four-channel
oscilloscopes.
EXAMPLES (GPIB) The following instruction reads the block DAT1 from Memory 1 and
saves it in the file “MEM1.DAT”. The path header “M1:” is saved
together with the data.
FILE$ = “MEM1.DAT”
CMD$ = “M1:WF? DAT1”
CALL IBWRT(SCOPE%,CMD$)
CALL IBRDF(SCOPE%,FILE$)
In the following example, the entire contents of Channel 1 are saved
in the file “CHAN1.DAT”. The path header “C1:” is skipped to
ensure that the data can later be recalled into the oscilloscope.
FILE$=“CHAN1.DAT”:RD$=SPACE$(3)
CMD$=“CHDR SHORT; C1:WF?”
CALL IBWRT(SCOPE%,CMD$)
CALL IBRD(SCOPE%,RD$) Skip first 3 characters
“C1:”
CALL IBRDF(SCOPE%,FILE$) Save data in file
“CHAN1.DAT”
The following instruction illustrates how the waveform data saved in
the preceding example can be recalled into Memory 1:
FILE$ = “CHAN1.DAT”
CMD$ =“M1:”
