Remote Command

:TRACe[1]|2|...6:MODE?

Notes

The legacy TRACe:MODE command is retained for backwards compatibility. In conjunction with
the legacy :AVErage command, it works as follows:

•

AVErage ON|OFF sets/clears a variable which we will call average for the sake of this

discussion. This variable is maintained by the analyzer solely for backwards compatibility.
See the [:SENSe]:AVERage[:STATe] command description below.

•

:TRACe:MODEWRITe

sets :TRACe:TYPE WRITe (Clear Write) unless

average is true, in which case it sets it to :TRACe:TYPE AVErage. It also
sets :TRACe:UPDate ON, :TRACe:DISPlay ON, for the selected

trace.

•

:TRACe:MODE MAXHold

sets:TRACe:TYPE MAXHold (Max Hold). It

also sets:TRACe:UPDate ON, :TRACe:DISPlay ON, for the

selected trace.

•

:TRACe:MODE MINHold

sets :TRACe:TYPE MINHold (Min Hold). It

also sets:TRACe:UPDate ON, :TRACe:DISPlay ON, for the

selected trace.

•

:TRACe:MODE VIEW

sets :TRACe:UPDate OFF, :TRACe:DISPlay ON, for

the selected trace

•

:TRACe:MODE BLANk

sets :TRACe:UPDate OFF, :TRACe:DISPlay OFF,

for the selected trace

The query will return the same value as a :TRACe:TYPE? Query, meaning that if you set

:TRACe:MODE:VIEW or :TRACe:MODE:BLANk, the query response will

not be what you sent.

Backwards Compatibility
Notes

The legacy command :TRACe[n]:MODE was formerly used to set the type or “writing mode” of
the trace. At that time, View and Blank were writing modes. The new TRACe:TYPE command
should be used in the future, but TRACe:MODE is retained to afford backwards compatibility.
