Preface

The programmer guide is divided into the following major topics:

Getting Started. This topic introduces you to the programming information

and provides basic information about setting up your instrument for remote
control.
Command Groups. This topic contains all the commands listed in functional
groups. Each group consists of an overview of the commands in that group and
a table that lists all the commands and queries for that group. You can click a
command in the listing to display a detailed description of the command.
Command Syntax. This topic provides an overview of the command syntax
that you use to communicate with the instrument and other general information
about commands, such as how commands and queries are constructed, how to
enter commands, constructed mnemonics, and argument types.
Status and Events. This topic discusses the status and event reporting system
for the GPIB interfaces. This system informs you of certain significant events
that occur within the instrument. Topics that are discussed include registers,
queues, event handling sequences, synchronization methods, and messages
that the instrument may return, including error messages.
Miscellaneous. This topic contains miscellaneous information, such as a
list of reserved words, a table of the factory initialization (default) settings,
and interface specifications that may be helpful when using commands to
remotely control the instrument.

iv DPO7000, DPO70000/B and DSA7000/B Series Programmer Manual

Getting Started
This programmer guide provides you with the information required to use GPIB
commands for remotely controlling your instrument. With this information, you
can write computer programs that will perform functions such as setting the front
panel controls, taking measurements, performing statistical calculations, and
exporting data for use in other programs, such as spreadsheets.
In addition to the traditional GPIB electronic interface (referred to as the physical
GPIB interface), your instrument is provided with a TekVISA GPIB-compatible
interface (referred to as the virtual GPIB interface). This is a software Application
Programming Interface (API) which enables you to communicate with the
instrument in a variety of ways, including via the Internet. With the following two
exceptions, these interfaces are completely independent:
HEADER. Command headers enabled or disabled on one interface are
correspondingly enabled or disabled on the other interface. Refer to the
command descriptions for more detailed information.
VERBOSE. Verbosity enabled or disabled on one interface is correspondingly
enabled or disabled on the other interface. Refer to the command description
for more detailed information.
Most examples in this document require that both HEADER and VERBOSE are ON.
Refer to Documentation for information on related manuals and documents.

Setting Up Remote Communications

Before setting up the instrument for remote communications using the electronic
(physical) GPIB interface, you should familiarize yourself with the following
GPIB requirements:
A unique device address must be assigned to each device on the bus. No two
devices can share the same device address.
No more than 15 devices can be connected to any one line.
One device should be connected for every 6 feet (2 meters) of cable used.
No more than 65 feet (20 meters) of cable should be used to connect devices
to a bus.
At least two-thirds of the devices on the network should be powered on while
using the network.
Connect the devices on the network in a star or linear configuration. Do not
use loop or parallel configurations.

DPO7000, DPO70000/B and DSA7000/B Series Programmer Manual 1-1

Getting Started

Connecting to the Your instrument has a 24-pin GPIB connector on its rear (side) panel. This
Instrument connector has a D-type shell and conforms to IEEE Std 488.11987. Attach an
IEEE Std 488.11987 GPIB cable to this connector and to your controller as
shown in the following figure.

If necessary, the GPIB connectors can be stacked as shown in the following figure.

Setting the GPIB Address To function correctly, your instrument must have a unique device address. The
default settings for the GPIB configuration are:
GPIB Address 1
GPIB ModeGPIB Talk/Listen
To change either of the GPIB settings, do the following:
1. Select GPIB Configuration from the Utilities menu.

1-2 DPO7000, DPO70000/B and DSA7000/B Series Programmer Manual

 Getting Started

2. Click the Configuration Talk/Listen button.

3. Change the GPIB Address to a unique address.

4. Click the Close button.
The instrument is now set up for bidirectional communication with your controller.

Getting Started

1-4 DPO7000, DPO70000/B and DSA7000/B Series Programmer Manual

Command Syntax
You can control the operations and functions of the instrument through the
GPIB interface using commands and queries. The following related topics listed
describe the syntax of these commands and queries. The topics also describe the
conventions that the instrument uses to process them. See the Command Groups
topic in the table of contents for a listing of the commands by command group, or
use the index to locate a specific command.

Backus-Naur Form Notation

This documentation describes the commands and queries using Backus-Naur
Form (BNF) notation. Refer to the following table for the symbols that are used.

Table 2-1: Symbols for Backus-Naur Form

Symbol Meaning
<> Defined element
::= Is defined as
| Exclusive OR
{} Group; one element is required
[] Optional; can be omitted
.. . Previous element(s) may be repeated
() Comment

Command and Query Structure

Commands consist of set commands and query commands (usually called
commands and queries). Commands modify instrument settings or tell the
instrument to perform a specific action. Queries cause the instrument to return
data and status information.
Most commands have both a set form and a query form. The query form of the
command differs from the set form by its question mark on the end. For example,
the set command ACQuire:MODe has a query form ACQuire:MODe?. Not all
commands have both a set and a query form. Some commands have set only and
some have query only.

Messages A command message is a command or query name followed by any information

the instrument needs to execute the command or query. Command messages may
contain five element types, defined in the following table.

DPO7000, DPO70000/B and DSA7000/B Series Programmer Manual 2-1

Command Syntax

Table 2-2: Command Message Elements

Symbol Meaning
<Header> This is the basic command name. If the header ends with a question
mark, the command is a query. The header may begin with a colon
(:) character. If the command is concatenated with other commands,
the beginning colon is required. Never use the beginning colon with
command headers beginning with a asterisk (*).
<Mnemonic> This is a header subfunction. Some command headers have only one
mnemonic. If a command header has multiple mnemonics, a colon (:)
character always separates them from each other.
<Argument> This is a quantity, quality, restriction, or limit associated with the header.
Some commands have no arguments while others have multiple
arguments. A <space> separates arguments from the header. A
<comma> separates arguments from each other.
<Comma> A single comma is used between arguments of multiple-argument
commands. Optionally, there may be white space characters before
and after the comma.
<Space> A white space character is used between a command header and the
related argument. Optionally, a white space may consist of multiple
white space characters.

Commands Commands cause the instrument to perform a specific function or change one of
the settings. Commands have the structure:
[:]<Header>[<Space><Argument>[<Comma> <Argument>]...]

A command header consists of one or more mnemonics arranged in a hierarchical

or tree structure. The first mnemonic is the base or root of the tree and each
subsequent mnemonic is a level or branch off the previous one. Commands at a
higher level in the tree may affect those at a lower level. The leading colon (:)
always returns you to the base of the command tree.

2-2 DPO7000, DPO70000/B and DSA7000/B Series Programmer Manual

 Command Syntax

Queries Queries cause the instrument to return status or setting information. Queries
have the structure:
[:]<Header>?

[:]<Header>?[<Space><Argument> [<Coma><Argument>]...]

You can specify a query command at any level within the command tree unless
otherwise noted. These branch queries return information about all the mnemonics
below the specified branch or level. For example, HIStogram:STATistics:STDdev?
returns the standard deviation of the histogram, while HIStogram:STATistics?
returns all the histogram statistics, and HIStogram? returns all the histogram
parameters.

Headers You can control whether the instrument returns headers as part of the query
response. Use the HEADer command to control this feature. If header is on,
the query response returns command headers, then formats itself as a valid set
command. When header is off, the response includes only the values. This may
make it easier to parse and extract the information from the response. The
following table shows the difference in responses.

Table 2-3: Comparison of Header Off and Header On Responses

Query Header Off Header On
TIME? 14:30:00 :TIME14:30:00
ACQuire:NUMAVg? 100 :ACQUIRE:NUMAVG 100

Clearing the Instrument

You can clear the Output Queue and reset the instrument to accept a new
command or query by using the selected Device Clear (DCL) GPIB function.
Refer to your GPIB library documentation for further details about the selected
Device Clear operation.

DPO7000, DPO70000/B and DSA7000/B Series Programmer Manual 2-3

Command Syntax

Command Entry
The following rules apply when entering commands:
You can enter commands in upper or lower case.
You can precede any command with white space characters. White space
characters include any combination of the ASCII control characters 00 through
09 and 0B through 20 hexadecimal (0 through 9 and 11 through 32 decimal).
The instrument ignores commands consisting of any combination of white
space characters and line feeds.

Abbreviating You can abbreviate many instrument commands. Each command in this
documentation shows the abbreviations in capitals. For example, you can enter
the command ACQuire:NUMAvg simply as ACQ:NUMA or acq:numa.
Abbreviation rules may change over time as new instrument models are
introduced. Thus, for the most robust code, use the full spelling.
If you use the HEADer command to have command headers included as part
of query responses, you can further control whether the returned headers are
abbreviated or are full-length with the VERBose command.

Concatenating You can concatenate any combination of set commands and queries using a
semicolon (;). The instrument executes concatenated commands in the order
received.

2-4 DPO7000, DPO70000/B and DSA7000/B Series Programmer Manual

 Command Syntax

When concatenating commands and queries, you must follow these rules:
1. Separate completely different headers by a semicolon and by the beginning
colon on all commands except the first one. For example, the commands
TRIGger:MODe NORMal and ACQuire:NUMAVg 10, can be concatenated
into the following single command:
TRIGger:MODe NORMal;:ACQuire:NUMAVg 10

2. If concatenated commands have headers that differ by only the last mnemonic,
you can abbreviate the second command and eliminate the beginning colon.
For example, you can concatenate the commands ACQuire:MODe ENVelope
and ACQuire:NUMAVg 10 into a single command:
ACQuire:MODe ENVelope; NUMAVg 10

The longer version works equally well:

ACQuire:MODe ENVelope;:ACQuire:NUMAVg 10

3. Never precede a star (*) command with a colon:

ACQuire:MODe ENVelope;*OPC

Any commands that follow will be processed as if the star command was not
there so the commands, ACQuire:MODe ENVelope;*OPC;NUMAVg 10 will
set the acquisition mode to envelope and set the number of acquisitions for
averaging to 10.
4. When you concatenate queries, the responses to all the queries are
concatenated into a single response message. For example, if the display
imageview color is temperature and the display recordview color is spectral,
the concatenated query DISplay:COLOr:PALETTE:IMAGEVIEW?;
RECORDVIEW? will return the following.

If the header is on:

:DISPLAY:COLOR:PALETTE:IMAGEVIEW TEMPERATURE;
:DISPLAY:COLOR:PALETTE:RECORDVIEW SPECTRAL

If the header is off:

TEMPERATURE;SPECTRAL

5. Set commands and queries may be concatenated in the same message. For
example,
ACQuire:MODe SAMple;NUMAVg?;STATE?

is a valid message that sets the acquisition mode to sample. The message then
queries the number of acquisitions for averaging and the acquisition state.
Concatenated commands and queries are executed in the order received.

DPO7000, DPO70000/B and DSA7000/B Series Programmer Manual 2-5

Command Syntax

Here are some invalid concatenations:

DISplay:PERSistance:RESET;ACQuire:NUMAVg 10 (no colon before
ACQuire)
DISplay:GRAticule FULl;:FILTer SINX (extra colon before FILTer; use
DISplay:GRAticule FULl;FILTer SINX instead)

DISplay:PERSistance:RESET;:*OPC (colon before a star (*) command)

DISplay:COLOr:MATHCOLOr DEFAULT;COLOr:REFCOLOr INHERIT (levels

of the mnemonics are different; either remove the second use of COLor or place
:DISPlay: in front of COLOr:REFCOLOr INHERIT)

Terminating This documentation uses <EOM> (End of message) to represent a message

terminator.

Table 2-4: End of Message Terminator

Symbol Meaning
<EOM> Message terminator

The end-of-message terminator must be the END message (EOI asserted

concurrently with the last data byte). The last data byte may be an ASCII linefeed
(LF) character.
This instrument does not support ASCII LF only message termination. The
instrument always terminates outgoing messages with LF and EOI.

Constructed Mnemonics
Some header mnemonics specify one of a range of mnemonics. For example, a
channel mnemonic can be CH1, CH2, CH3, or CH4. You use these mnemonics
in the command just as you do any other mnemonic. For example, there is a
CH1:POSition command, and there is also a CH2:POSition command. In the
command descriptions, this list of choices is abbreviated as CH<x>.

Cursor Position When cursors are displayed, commands may specify which cursor of the pair to
Mnemonics use.

Table 2-5: Cursor Mnemonics

Symbol Meaning
CURSOR<x> A cursor selector; <x> is either 1 or 2.
POSITION<x> A cursor selector; <x> is either 1 or 2.
HPOS<x> A cursor selector; <x> is either 1 or 2.

2-6 DPO7000, DPO70000/B and DSA7000/B Series Programmer Manual

 Command Syntax

Math Specifier Mnemonics Commands can specify the mathematical waveform to use as a mnemonic in
the header.

Table 2-6: Math Specifier Mnemonics

Symbol Meaning
Math<x> A math waveform specifier; <x> is 1 through 4.

Measurement Specifier Commands can specify which measurement to set or query as a mnemonic in the
Mnemonics header. Up to eight automated measurements may be displayed.

Table 2-7: Measurement Specifier Mnemonics

Symbol Meaning
MEAS<x> A measurement specifier; <x> is 1 through 8.

Channel Mnemonics Commands specify the channel to use as a mnemonic in the header.

Table 2-8: Channel Mnemonics

Symbol Meaning
CH<x> A channel specifier; <x> is 1 through 4.

Reference Waveform Commands can specify the reference waveform to use as a mnemonic in the
Mnemonics header.

Table 2-9: Reference Waveform Mnemonics

Symbol Meaning
REF<x> A reference waveform specifier; <x> is 1 thru 4.

Argument Types
Numeric Many instrument commands require numeric arguments. The syntax shows the
format that the instrument returns in response to a query. This is also the preferred
format when sending the command to the instrument though any of the formats
will be accepted. This documentation represents these arguments as follows:

Table 2-10: Numeric Arguments

Symbol Meaning
<NR1> Signed integer value
<NR2> Floating point value without an exponent
<NR3> Floating point value with an exponent

DPO7000, DPO70000/B and DSA7000/B Series Programmer Manual 2-7

Command Syntax

Most numeric arguments will be automatically forced to a valid setting, either by

rounding or truncating, when an invalid number is input unless otherwise noted
in the command description.

Quoted String Some commands accept or return data in the form of a quoted string, which is
simply a group of ASCII characters enclosed by a single quote () or double quote
("). The following is an example of a quoted string: "This is a quoted
string". This documentation represents these arguments as follows:

Table 2-11: Quoted String Argument

Symbol Meaning
<QString> Quoted string of ASCII text

A quoted string can include any character defined in the 7-bit ASCII character
set. Follow these rules when you use quoted strings:
1. Use the same type of quote character to open and close the string. For
example: "this is a valid string".
2. You can mix quotation marks within a string as long as you follow the
previous rule. For example, "this is an acceptable string".
3. You can include a quote character within a string by repeating the quote. For
example: "here is a "" mark".
4. Strings can have upper or lower case characters.
5. If you use a GPIB network, you cannot terminate a quoted string with the
END message before the closing delimiter.
6. A carriage return or line feed embedded in a quoted string does not terminate
the string, but is treated as just another character in the string.
7. The maximum length of a quoted string returned from a query is 255
characters.
Here are some invalid strings:
"Invalid string argument (quotes are not of the same type)

"test<EOI>" (termination character is embedded in the string)

Block Several instrument commands use a block argument form (see the following table).

Table 2-12: Block Argument

Symbol Meaning
<NZDig> A nonzero digit character in the range of 19
<Dig> A digit character, in the range of 09

2-8 DPO7000, DPO70000/B and DSA7000/B Series Programmer Manual

 Command Syntax

Table 2-12: Block Argument (cont.)

Symbol Meaning
<DChar> A character with the hexadecimal equivalent of 00 through FF (0
through 255 decimal)
<Block> A block of data bytes defined as: <Block> ::=
{#<NZDig><Dig>[<Dig>...][<DChar>...]
|#0[<DChar>...]<terminator>}

<NZDig> specifies the number of <Dig> elements that follow. Taken together,
the <NZDig> and <Dig> elements form a decimal integer that specifies how
many <DChar> elements follow.

NOTE. The digit <NZDig> is in hexadecimal format. This deviates slightly from
the IEEE 488.2 specification that it be in decimal format, as extra allowances
must be made for data lengths that are greater than 999,999,999 <DChar>
elements (for example 500M record lengths at 2 bytes per point).

Command Groups
The programmable interface conforms to Tektronix standard codes and formats
except where noted. The GPIB interface also conforms to IEEE Std 488.2-1987
except where noted.

Acquisition Command Group

Use the commands in the Acquisition Command Group to set up the modes and
functions that control how the instrument acquires the signals you input to the
channels and processes them into waveforms.
Using these commands for acquiring waveforms, you can do the following:
Start and stop acquisitions.
Control whether each waveform is simply acquired, averaged, or enveloped
over successive acquisitions of that waveform.
Set the controls or conditions that start and stop acquisitions.
Determine the action the system takes upon completing an acquisition, such
as saving all waveforms and taking a measurement when the acquisition is
stopped.
Control acquisition of acquired channel waveforms.
Set acquisition parameters.

Command Description
ACQuire? Returns acquisition parameters
ACQuire:INTERPEightbit Sets or returns the interpolation acquisition

ACQuire:MODe Sets or returns acquisition mode
ACQuire:NUMFRAMESACQuired? Returns the number of acquisitions that have
occurred
ACQuire:NUMACq? Returns the number of waveform acquisitions
that have occurred since starting acquisition

Acquisition mode
FASTAcq:HIACQRATE Sets or returns the state of FastAcq
optimization for capturing the details with a

FASTAcq:STATE Returns the Fast Acquisition state

Alias Command Group

Alias commands allow you to define new commands as a sequence of standard
commands. You may find this useful when repeatedly using the same commands
to perform certain tasks like setting up measurements.
Aliases are similar to macros but do not include the capability to substitute
parameters into alias bodies. The alias mechanism obeys the following rules:
The alias name must consist of a valid IEEE 488.2 message unit, which may
not appear in a message preceded by a colon, comma, or a command or query
program header.
The alias name may not appear in a message followed by program date, a
colon, comma, or question mark.
An alias name must be distinct from any keyword or keyword short form.
An alias name cannot be redefined without first being deleted using one of
the alias deletion functions.
Alias names do not appear in response messages.
The Alias commands are defined in Tektronix Standard Codes and Formats.
Deviations between that standard and what is specified here will be considered
errors unless specifically noted in the command description in this document.

Calibration Command Group

The Calibration commands provide information about the current state of
instrument calibration and allow you to initiate internal signal path calibration
(SPC). Commands that are specific to factory calibration are not described in
this manual; however, they are described in the service manual (located on your
Product Software CD-ROM in PDF format). You can also order a printed copy
(see Recommended Accessories in the online help for the instrument).

Command Description
CALibrate? Returns the internal and factory calibration
status
*CAL? Instructs the instrument to perform
self-calibration and returns the calibration
status when complete
CALibrate:CALProbe:CH<x>? Performs a probe calibration for the selected
channel and returns the calibration status
CALibrate:INTERNal Starts the internal signal path calibration
CALibrate:INTERNal:STARt Starts the internal signal path calibration

probe of the selected channel
CALibrate:RESults? Returns the status of all calibration
subsystems without performing an SPC
operation
CALibrate:RESults:SPC? Returns the results of the last SPC operation

Cursor Command Group

Use the commands in the Cursor Command Group to control the cursor display
and readout. You can use these commands to control the setups for cursor 1 and
cursor 2, such as waveform source, cursor position, and cursor color.

You can also use the commands to select one of the following cursor functions:
Off. Shuts off the display of all cursors.
Vertical Bars. Displays vertical bar cursors, which provide traditional
horizontal unit readouts for Cursor 1 (bar1), Cursor 2 (bar2), the delta between
them, and 1/delta (results in frequency when the horizontal unit is time).
Horizontal Bars. Displays horizontal bar cursors, which provide traditional
vertical unit readouts for Cursor 1 (bar1), Cursor 2 (bar2), and the delta
between them.
Waveform Cursors. Consists of two cursors you can independently assign to
a waveform. These cursors provide the same readouts that the vertical and
horizontal bar cursors provide. Waveform cursors enable you to conveniently
measure waveform amplitude and time. In XY or XYZ format, waveform
cursors indicate the amplitude position of an XY pair (Ch1 vs Ch2 voltage,
where Ch1 is the X axis and Ch2 is the Y axis) relative to the trigger.
Screen Cursors. Consists of two pairs of independent horizontal and vertical
cursors. You can use these cursors to indicate an arbitrary position within
the waveform display area. Screen cursors, depending on the style selected,
consist of the intersection of a vertical and horizontal line, an X, or a vertical
line with an X. These cursors have no association with any waveform, other
than they inherit the color of the waveform they are assigned too.

E-mail Command Group

Commands in the E-mail group allow you to send e-mail to one or more
designated recipients whenever a selected event, such as a trigger, mask test
failure (Option MTM only), or a limit test failure occurs in the instrument.
Using this feature, you do not have to continually monitor the instrument for
the event.

DPO7000, DPO70000/B and DSA7000/B Series Programmer Manual 2-19

Command Groups

When an event occurs, the instrument will send an SMTP mail message to one or
more designated recipients through the specified mail server. The message can
include any of the following:
Screen image
Waveform data
Measurement data at the time of the event

NOTE. Your instrument must be connected to the Local Area Network (LAN)
using Transfer C Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). The recipient must also
have an SMTP mail server. To send e-mail for a mask test failure, you must have
Mask Testing (Option MTM) installed.

File System Command Group

Use the commands in the File System Command Group to help you use the
built-in hard disk drive. You can use the commands to do the following:
List the contents of the default directory
Create and delete directories
Create, copy, read, rename, or delete a file
When using these commands, keep the following points in mind:
File arguments are always enclosed within double quotes:
C:\MYDIR\TEK00001.SET
File names follow the MSDOS format: [DRIVE:][\PATH\]filename
Path separators may be either forward slashes (/) or back slashes (\)

NOTE. Using back slash as a path separator may produce some unexpected
results, depending on how your controller application treats escaped characters.
Many applications recognize the sequence of back slash followed by an alphabetic
character as an escaped character, and, as such, interpret that alphabetic
character as a control character. For example, the sequence \n may be
interpreted as a newline character; \t may be interpreted as a tab character. To
ensure that this interpretation does not occur, you can use double back slashes.
For example, C:\\testfile.txt.

Some FILESystem commands may fail because a file has read-only attributes.
You will not be able to delete or replace such files until this attribute is
removed. Refer to the operating system help on file properties for further
information.

Mask Command Group

Use the commands in the Mask Command Group to compare incoming waveforms
against standard or user-defined telecommunications masks. Standard masks are
only available when option MTM is installed. Without option MTM, you need
to define your masks. When the instrument detects waveforms that fall inside or
outside of the mask limits, it can perform tasks such as generating hard copy,
saving the waveform, emitting a beep or an SRQ, stopping and waiting for your
input, sending an E-mail message with specified data, logging the time/date of the
acquired waveform, or some combination of these actions.
A mask is a set of polygonal regions on the screen. Every vertical line of the
screen intersects the polygon in zero, one, or two places, but never in more than
two places. (A vertical line that intersects a vertical mask border is counted.) You
have to break up more complicated polygons into two separate segments. Unlike
limit testing, the inside of a mask is the region where waveform data would
not normally fall. A telecommunications standard requires up to eight of these
segments. Pulse standards always have two segments. Standards with eye patterns
usually have three masks, but some have four.

DPO7000, DPO70000/B and DSA7000/B Series Programmer Manual 2-31

Command Groups

You use the commands in the Mask Command Group to do the following:
Specify the waveform source to test and the mask to use.
Specify whether to use, and the size of, mask margins, which allow you to
shrink or expand an existing set of polygons by a specified percentage.
Specify whether to display a readout of hits and the mask on screen. Options
also exist for auto fitting the incoming waveforms to match the mask you
choose.
Select industry-standard masks that support a variety of electrical and optical
communication standards (available only with option MTM).
Define and edit your own custom mask; create an entirely new mask, or use
a standard mask (option MTM only) as a starting reference, and edit it to
meet your needs.
Enable, disable, or reset the mask counts. Once you turn on mask counting, it
remains on until you explicitly turn it off.
Option MTM also provides communication trigger commands that you can use in
conjunction with the mask commands, such as TRIGger:A:TYPe Communication.
Refer to the Trigger Command Group.

Math Command Group

Use the commands in the Math Command Group to create and define math
waveforms. You can define and display up to four math waveforms simultaneously
on four channel models and up to two on two channel models. Use the available
math functions to define your math waveform.
The math waveform you create depends on sources listed in the math expression.
If you change these sources, the math waveforms you previously defined will be
affected.
Math expressions can be simple, containing no mathematical computation, such
as CH1, which specifies that a waveform shows the signal source of channel 1.
Math expressions can also be complex, consisting of 100 plus characters and
comprising many sources, functions, and operands.
The acquisition of a live waveform can stop for several reasons: You can turn off
the channel, stop the waveform (via Run/Stop from the Horiz/Acq menu), or stop
the trigger (via Run/Stop from the Trig menu). When you turn off the channel,
math continues and data is acquired but is not displayed. When you stop either the
waveform or the trigger, the math calculation stops, and the last math calculation
performed is displayed.
When a live waveform update or reference waveform is altered, math waveforms
containing those waveforms as sources are also updated to reflect the changes.
Also, sources must exist but do not need to be displayed to be used in and to
update math waveforms.

Measurement Command Group

Use the commands in the Measurement Command Group to control the automated
measurement system.
Up to eight automated measurements can be displayed on the screen. In the
commands, these measurement readouts are named MEAS<x>, where <x> can be
1 through 8.
In addition to the eight displayed measurements, the measurement commands let
you specify an additional measurement, IMMed. The immediate measurement
has no front panel equivalent. Immediate measurements are never displayed.
Because they are computed only when needed, immediate measurements slow the
waveform update rate less than displayed measurements.
Whether you use displayed or immediate measurements, use the VALue query to
obtain measurement results.
Measurement commands can set and query measurement parameters. You can
assign parameters, such as waveform sources and reference levels, differently
for each measurement.

Save and Recall Command Group

Use the commands in the Save and Recall Command Group to store and retrieve
internal waveforms and settings. When you save a setup, you save all the settings
of the instrument. When you recall a setup, the instrument restores itself to the
state that it was in when you originally saved that setting.

Command Description
*RCL Restores the state of the instrument from a
copy of the setting stored in memory
*SAV Stores the current instrument state to a
specified memory location

Trigger Command Group

Use the commands in the Trigger Command Group to control all aspects of
triggering for the instrument.
There are two triggers: A and B. Where appropriate, the command set has parallel
constructions for each trigger.
You can set the A or B triggers to edge mode. Edge triggering lets you display
a waveform at or near the point where the signal passes through a voltage level
of your choosing.
You can also set A or B triggers to pulse or logic modes. With pulse triggering,
the instrument triggers whenever it detects a pulse of a certain width or height.
Logic triggering lets you logically combine the signals on one or more channels.
The instrument then triggers when it detects a certain combination of signal levels.
Video triggering enables you to trigger on the most common Standard Definition,
High Definition, and custom video standards. You can trigger on all fields, all
lines, or individual video lines. Video trigger commands are only available on
DPO7000 instruments.
If you have Option MTM (Mask Testing) installed, you also have access to a
communication mode. When this mode is selected, several communication trigger
commands are available that work in conjunction with the mask commands. Refer
to Mask Command Group.

Waveform Transfer Command Group

Use the commands in the Waveform Transfer Command Group to transfer
waveform data points to and from the instrument. Waveform data points are a
collection of values that define a waveform. One data value usually represents
one data point in the waveform record. When working with envelope waveforms,
each data value is either the minimum or maximum of a min/max pair.
Before you transfer waveform data, you must specify the data format, record
length, and waveform source.

Data Formats. Acquired waveform data uses eight or more bits to represent each
data point. The number of bits used depends on the acquisition mode specified
when you acquired the data. Data acquired in SAMple or ENVelope mode uses
eight bits per waveform data point. Data acquired in AVERage mode uses up to
14 bits per point.
The instrument can transfer waveform data in either ASCII or binary format.
You specify the format with the DATa:ENCdg command. The instrument uses
signed, 4 byte integers and floating point values; it does not support unsigned
floating point values.
ASCII data is represented by signed integer or floating point values. An example
ASCII waveform data string may look like this:
CURVE<space>-110,-109,-110,-110,-109,-107,
-109,-107,-106,-105,-103,-100,-97,-90,-84,-80
Use ASCII to obtain more readable and easier to format output than binary.
However, ASCII may require more bytes to send the same values than it does with
binary. This may reduce transmission speeds.
Binary data can be represented by signed integer or floating point values. The
range of the values depends on the byte width specified. When the byte width is
one, signed integer data ranges from -128 to 127, and positive integer values
range from 0 to 255. When the byte width is two, the values range from -32768 to
32767. When a MATH (or REF that came from a MATH) is used, 32 bit floating
point values are used that are four bytes in width.

DPO7000, DPO70000/B and DSA7000/B Series Programmer Manual 2-67

Command Groups

The defined binary formats specify the order in which the bytes are transferred.
The following are the four binary formats:
RIBinary specifies signed integer data-point representation with the most
significant byte transferred first.
SRIBinary is the same as RIBinary except that the byte order is swapped,
meaning that the least significant byte is transferred first. This format is useful
when transferring data to PCs.
RFBinary specifies floating point data-point representation with the most
significant byte transferred first.
SRFBinary is the same as RFBinary except that the byte order is swapped,
meaning that the least significant byte is transferred first. This format is useful
when transferring data to PCs.

Waveform Data and Record Lengths. You can transfer multiple points for each
waveform record. You can transfer a portion of the waveform or you can transfer
the entire record. You can use the DATa:STARt and DATa:STOP commands to
specify the first and last data points of the waveform record.
When transferring data into the instrument, you must first specify the record length
of the destination waveform record. You do this with the WFMInpre:NR_Pt
command. Next, specify the first data point within the waveform record. For
example, when you set DATa:STARt to 1, data points will be stored starting
with the first point in the record. The instrument will ignore the value set by
DATa:STOP when reading in data. It will stop reading data when there is no more
data to read or when it has reached the specified record length.
When transferring data from the instrument, you must specify the first and last
data points in the waveform record. Setting DATa:STARt to 1 and DATa:STOP to
the record length will always return the entire waveform.

Waveform Data Locations and Memory Allocation. The DATa:SOUrce command

specifies the waveform source when transferring a waveform from the instrument.
Waveforms sent to the instrument are always stored in one of the four reference
memory locations. Use the DATa:DESTination command to specify a reference
memory location.

Waveform Preamble. Each waveform that you transfer has an associated

waveform preamble that contains information such as the horizontal scale, the
vertical scale, and other settings in effect when the waveform was created. Refer
to the individual WFMInpre and WFMOutpre commands for more information.

Scaling Waveform Data. Once you transfer the waveform data to the controller,
you can convert the data points into voltage values for analysis using information
from the waveform preamble.

 Command Groups

Transferring Waveform Data from the Instrument.

You can transfer waveforms from the instrument to an external controller using
the following sequence:
1. Select the waveform source(s) using DATa:SOUrce.
2. Specify the waveform data format using DATa:ENCdg.
3. Specify the number of bytes per data point using WFMOutpre:BYT_Nr.

Examples ACQUIRE:INTERPEIGHTBIT ON sets the interpolation sampling mode ON.

ACQUIRE:INTERPEIGHTBIT? might return :ACQUIRE:INTERPEIGHTBIT

AUTO indicating the interpolation sampling mode is set to AUTO.

ACQuire:MODe
This command sets or queries the acquisition mode of the instrument.
This affects all live waveforms. This command is equivalent to selecting
Horizontal/Acquisition from the Horiz/Acq menu, and then choosing the desired
mode from the Acquisition Mode group box.
Waveforms are the displayed data point values taken from acquisition intervals.
Each acquisition interval represents a time duration set by the horizontal scale
(time per division). The instrument sampling system always samples at the
maximum rate and so an acquisition interval may include more than one sample.
The acquisition mode (which you set using this ACQuire:MODe command)
determines how the final value of the acquisition interval is generated from the
many data samples.

Group Acquisition

Syntax ACQuire:MODe
{SAMple|PEAKdetect|HIRes|AVErage|WFMDB|ENVelope}
ACQuire:MODe?

Related Commands ACQuire:NUMAVg, CURVe

Arguments SAMple specifies that the displayed data point value is the first sampled value
that is taken during the acquisition interval. In sample mode, all waveform data
has 8 bits of precision. You can request 16 bit data with a CURVe query but the
lower-order 8 bits of data will be zero. SAMple is the default mode.
PEAKdetect specifies the display of high-low range of the samples taken from a
single waveform acquisition. The high-low range is displayed as a vertical column
that extends from the highest to the lowest value sampled during the acquisition
interval. PEAKdetect mode can reveal the presence of aliasing or narrow spikes.
HIRes specifies Hi Res mode where the displayed data point value is the
average of all the samples taken during the acquisition interval. This is a form
of averaging, where the average comes from a single waveform acquisition. The

2-76 DPO7000, DPO70000/B and DSA7000/B Series Programmer Manual

 Commands Listed in Alphabetical Order

number of samples taken during the acquisition interval determines the number of
data values that compose the average.
AVErage specifies averaging mode, in which the resulting waveform shows an
average of SAMple data points from several separate waveform acquisitions. The
instrument processes the number of waveforms you specify into the acquired
waveform, creating a running exponential average of the input signal. The number
of waveform acquisitions that go into making up the average waveform is set or
queried using the ACQuire:NUMAVg command.
ENVelope specifies envelope mode, where the resulting waveform shows the
PEAKdetect range of data points from several separate waveform acquisitions.
The number of waveform acquisitions that go into making up the envelope
waveform is set or queried using the ACQuire:NUMENv command.
WFMDB (Waveform Database) mode acquires and displays a waveform pixmap. A
pixmap is the accumulation of one or more acquisitions.
The instrument acquires data after each trigger event using Sample mode; it then
determines the pix map location of each sample point and accumulates it with
stored data from previous acquisitions.
A Pix map is a two dimensional array. The value at each point in the array is
a counter that reflects the hit intensity. Infinite and noninfinite persist display
modes affect how pix maps are accumulated. Zoom, Math, FastAcq, FastFrame,
XY, Roll, and Interpolated Time (IT) Sampling Mode are conflicting features to
WFMDB acqMode. Turning on one of them generally turns the other one off.
Selection of some standard masks (for example, eye masks, which require option
MTM) changes the acquisition mode to WFMDB.

Examples ACQUIRE:MODE ENVELOPE sets the acquisition mode to display a waveform that
is an envelope of many individual waveform acquisitions.
ACQUIRE:MODE? might return :ACQuire:MODe AVERAGE, indicating that
the displayed waveform is the average of the specified number of waveform
acquisitions.

ACQuire:NUMACq? (Query Only)

This query-only command returns the number of waveform acquisitions that have
occurred since starting acquisition with the ACQuire:STATE RUN command.
This value is reset to zero when any acquisition, horizontal, or vertical arguments
that affect the waveform are changed. The maximum number of acquisitions that
can be counted is 2301. The instrument stops counting when this number is
reached. This is the same value that displays in the lower right of the screen.

make up a waveform database (WfmDB) waveform for single sequence mode and
Mask Pass/Fail Completion Test. This is equivalent to setting the Waveform
Database Samples in the Acquisition Mode side menu.

Group Acquisition

Syntax ACQuire:NUMSAMples {<NR1>}

ACQuire:NUMSAMples?

Arguments NR1 is the minimum number of acquired samples that make up a waveform
database (WfmDB) waveform for single sequence mode and Mask Pass/Fail
Completion Test. The default value is 16,000 samples. The range is 5,000 to
2,147,400,000 samples.
In real time mode, if the entire trace is displayed, one triggered acquisition should
acquire 5000 samples for a record length of 5000. If you want 5001 samples, the
instrument will need to make two acquisitions (10,000 samples). If you request
fewer samples than the record length, the number of samples will be the same as
the record length.

Examples ACQUIRE:NUMSAMPLES 5000 specifies that 5000 samples will be acquired in

WfmDB mode for single sequence mode and Mask Pass/Fail Completion Test.
ACQUIRE:NUMSAMPLES? might return :ACQUIRE:NUMSAMples 10000,

ACQuire:SAMPlingmode
This command sets or queries the sampling mode.

Group Acquisition

Syntax ACQuire:SAMPlingmode {RT|IT|ET}

 Commands Listed in Alphabetical Order

ET sets the sampling mode to equivalent time allowed (ON in REPET).

The number of channels selected and the sampling speed affects the mode that
the instrument uses to acquire data. At slow sampling speeds the instrument uses
real time sampling. At fast sampling speeds, the instrument uses equivalent time
sampling or interpolation. For speeds between these extremes, some instruments
create waveform records differently, depending on the number of input channels
selected.

Examples ACQUIRE:SAMPLINGMODE IT specifies that interpolation is allowed.

ACQUIRE:SAMPLINGMODE? might return:ACQUIRE:SAMPLINGMODE RT,

indicating that sampling mode is real time only.

ACQuire:STATE
This command starts or stops acquisitions. When state is set to ON or RUN, a
new acquisition will be started. If the last acquisition was a single acquisition
sequence, a new single sequence acquisition will be started. If the last acquisition
was continuous, a new continuous acquisition will be started.
If RUN is issued in the middle of completing a single sequence acquisition (for
example, averaging or enveloping), the acquisition sequence is restarted, and
any accumulated data is discarded. Also, the instrument resets the number of
acquisitions. If the RUN argument is issued while in continuous mode, a reset
occurs and acquired data continues to acquire.
If acquire:stopafter is SEQUENCE, pressing the front panel RUN/STOP button is
equivalent to sending these commands: ACQUIRE:STOPAFTER RUNSTOP and

DPO7000, DPO70000/B and DSA7000/B Series Programmer Manual 2-113

Commands Listed in Alphabetical Order

This command offsets the vertical acquisition window (moves the level at the
vertical center of the acquisition window) for the selected channel. Visualize offset
as scrolling the acquisition window towards the top of a large signal for increased
offset values, and scrolling towards the bottom for decreased offset values. The
resolution of the vertical window sets the offset increment for this control.
Offset adjusts only the vertical center of the acquisition window for channel
waveforms to help determine what data is acquired. The instrument always
displays the input signal minus the offset value. The channel reference marker will
move to the vertical graticule position given by the negative of the offset value
divided by the scale factor, unless that position is off-screen. If the computed
coordinate for the reference mark is off-screen, the mark moves to the nearest
screen limit and changes from a right-pointing arrow ( ) to an arrow pointing in
the appropriate off-screen direction.

CH<x>:POSition
This command sets or queries the vertical position of the specified channel. The
channel is specified by x. The value of x can range from 1 through 4. The position
value is applied to the signal before it is digitized. This command is equivalent
to selecting Position/Scale from the Vertical menu and either viewing or setting
Position.
Increasing the position value of a waveform causes the waveform to move up,
and decreasing the position value causes the waveform to move down. Position
adjusts only the display position of a waveform, whether it is a channel, math,
or reference waveform. The position value determines the vertical graticule
coordinate at which input signal values, minus the present offset setting for that
channel, are displayed. For example, if the position for Channel 3 is set to 2.0

Each waveform has a vertical scale parameter. For a signal with constant
amplitude, increasing the Scale causes the waveform to be displayed smaller.
Decreasing the scale causes the waveform to be displayed larger.
Scale affects all waveforms, but affects channel waveforms differently from
other waveforms:
For channel waveforms, this setting controls the vertical size of the acquisition
window as well as the display scale. The range and resolution of scale
values depends on the probe attached and any other external factors you have
specified.
For reference and math waveforms, this setting controls the display only,
graphically scaling these waveforms and having no affect on the acquisition
hardware.

CURVe
This command transfers waveform data to and from the instrument. Each
waveform that is transferred has an associated waveform preamble that contains
information such as data format and scale.
The CURVe? query transfers data from the instrument. The data source is
specified by the DATa:SOUrce command. The first and last data points are
specified by the DATa:STARt and DATa:STOP commands.
The CURVe command transfers waveform data to the instrument. The data
is stored in the reference memory location specified by DATa:DESTination,
starting with the data point specified by DATa:STARt. Only one waveform can
be transferred at a time. The waveform will only be displayed if the reference

Arguments <Block> is the waveform data in binary format. The waveform is formatted as:
#<x><yyy><data><newline>, where:
<x> is the number of y bytes. For example, if <yyy>=500, then <x>=3)

NOTE. <x> is hexadecimal format. The letters A-F denote a number of y bytes
between 10 and 15 digits.

<yyy> is the number of bytes to transfer. If width is 1, then all bytes on

the bus are single data points. If width is 2, then all bytes on the bus are
2-byte pairs. If width is 4, then all bytes on the bus are 4-byte pairs. Use the
WFMInpre:BYT_Nr command to set the width.
<data> is the curve data.
<newline> is a single byte new line character at the end of the data.
<asc curve> is the waveform data in ASCII format. The format for ASCII data
is <NR1>[,<NR1>...], where each <NR1> represents a data point.

Examples CURVE <Block> sets the format of the waveform data, transferred to and from the
instrument, to binary format.
CURVE? with ASCII encoding, start and stop of 1 and 10 respectively, and a width
set to 1 might return :CURVE 61,62,61,60,60,-59,-59,-58,-58,-59

NOTE. Curve data is transferred from the instrument asynchronously and,

depending upon the length of the curve record, such transfers can require several
seconds to complete. During this time, the instrument will not respond to user
controls. You can interrupt these asynchronous data transfers by sending a
device clear message to the instrument or by interrupting the query with another
command or query. Verify that curve data has been completely transferred.
It is recommended that you follow such queries with an *ESR? query and verify
that the error bit returned and, if set, check the event queue to ascertain the
reason for the error. If the error was caused by an interrupted query, then the
asynchronous data transfer had not completed when the *ESR? query was sent.
In this case, you may need increase your programs time-out value to ensure
that all data is transferred and read.

CURVENext? (Query Only)

This query-only command returns unique waveform data from the instrument.
This query performs just like :CURVe?, except multiple uses guarantee that the

CURVEStream
This query continuously transfers waveform data from the instrument as it is
acquired. This command puts the instrument into a talk-only mode, allowing
the controller to receive waveform records as fast as (and as soon as) they are
acquired. Use the DATa:SOUrce command to specify the waveform sources. The
command does the same thing as the CURVe command.
Control of the instrument through the user interface or other external client is
not possible while in streaming mode.
The GPIB controller must take the instrument out of this continuous talking
mode to terminate the query and allow other input sources to resume
communication with the instrument. The following options are available to
transition out of streaming curve mode: send a device clear over the bus or
send another query to the instrument (a MEPE Query Interrupted error will
occur, but the instrument will be placed back into its normal talk/listen mode).
Turning the waveform screen display mode off (:DISplay:WAVEform OFF)
will increase waveform throughput during streaming mode.
While in streaming mode, two extreme conditions can occur. If the waveform
records are being acquired slowly (high resolution), configure the controller
for long time-out thresholds, as the data is not sent out until each complete
record is acquired. If the waveform records are being acquired rapidly (low
resolution), and the controller is not reading the data off the bus fast enough,
the trigger rate is slowed to allow each waveform to be sent sequentially.

Syntax DATa:SOUrce <wfm>[<,><wfm>]

DATa:SOUrce?

Related Commands CURVe

Arguments <wfm> is the location of the waveform data that will be transferred from the
instrument to the controller.

Examples DATA:SOURCE CH1 specifies that the CH1 waveforms will be transferred in the
next CURVe? query.
DATA:SOURCE? might return :DATA:SOURCE REF3, indicating that the source
for the waveform data which is transferred using a CURVe? query is reference 3.

DATa:STARt
This command sets or queries the starting data point for waveform transfer. This
command allows for the transfer of partial waveforms to and from the instrument.

Group Waveform Transfer

DATa:STARt?

Related Commands CURVe, DATa, DATa:STOP, SAVe:WAVEform, SAVe:WAVEform:FILEFormat,

WFMInpre:NR_Pt, WFMOutpre:NR_Pt?, WFMInpre:NR_FR,
WFMOutpre:NR_FR?

Arguments <NR1> is the first data point that will be transferred, which ranges from 1 to the
record length. Data will be transferred from <NR1> to DATa:STOP or the record
length, whichever is less. If <NR1> is greater than the record length, the last
data point in the record is transferred.
DATa:STARt and DATa:STOP are order independent. When DATa:STOP is
greater than DATa:STARt, the values will be swapped internally for the CURVE?
query.

Examples DATA:START 10 specifies that the waveform transfer will begin with data point
10.
DATA:START? might return :DATA:START 214, indicating that data point 214 is
the first waveform data point that will be transferred.

 Commands Listed in Alphabetical Order

DATa:STOP
This command sets or queries the last data point that will be transferred when
using the CURVe? query. This command allows for the transfer of partial
waveforms to the controller.
Changes to the record length value are not automatically reflected in the data:stop
value. As record length is varied, the data:stop value must be explicitly changed
to ensure the entire record is transmitted. In other words, curve results will not
automatically and correctly reflect increases in record length if the distance from
data:start to data:stop stays smaller than the increased record length.

NOTE. When using the CURVe command, DATa:STOP is ignored and

WFMInpre:NR_Pt is used.

WFMInpre:NR_Pt, WFMOutpre:NR_Pt?, WFMInpre:NR_FR,
WFMOutpre:NR_FR?

Arguments <NR1> is the last data point that will be transferred, which ranges from 1 to
the record length. If <NR1> is greater than the record length, then data will be
transferred up to the record length. If both DATa:STARt and DATa:STOP are
greater than the record length, the last data point in the record is returned.
DATa:STARt and DATa:STOP are order independent. When DATa:STOP is less
than DATa:STARt, the values will be swapped internally for the CURVE? query.
If you always want to transfer complete waveforms, set DATa:STARt to 1 and
DATa:STOP to the maximum record length, or larger.

Examples DATA:STOP 15000 specifies that the waveform transfer will stop at data point
15000.
DATA:STOP? might return :DATA:STOP 14900, indicating that 14900 is the last
waveform data point that will be transferred.

TEK00001.SET, located in the MYDIR directory on the C drive to a file named
COPYOFTEK001.SET in the ANOTHERDIR directory on the C drive.

FILESystem:CWD
This command sets or queries the current working directory for FILESystem
GPIB commands. The default working directory is C:\TekScope. Anytime that
you use this command to change the directory, the directory that you specify is
retained as the current working directory until you either change the directory or
you delete the directory. If you delete the current working directory, the instrument
resets current working directory to the default directory (C:\TekScope) the next
time the instrument is powered on or the next time you execute a file system
command. The current working directory is retained between power cycles.
This command supports the permutations of file and directory names that are
supported by Microsoft Windows:
Relative path names; for example, .\Temp
Absolute path names; for example, C:\Windows\System
Implied relative path names; for example newfile.text becomes
C:\TekScope\newfile.txt if the current working directory is C:\TekScope

This command is not IEEE 488.2 compliant for the following reasons:
The command produces output on the 488.2 bus. Queries, not commands, are
the only message units that should produce output on the 488.2 bus. Errors
may not be recognized if they occur while data is being output in response to
this command. This will be evident if a command is sent to the instrument
before all of the data generated by this command has been read. In such cases,
you should send a device clear message to the instrument.
The command does not use a standard 488.2 output format. The closest
defined format is the indefinite format of ARBITRARY BLOCK PROGRAM
DATA encoding. However, this command output omits the initial #0

When FastFrame Track is set to live, the channel and math waveforms are
locked together. Adjusting a channel waveform also adjusts a related math
waveform. All reference waveforms are also locked together but they are separate
from channel and math waveforms.
For example, when you set the Selected Frame Source Ch1 to Frame 3, then
Selected Frame Ch2, Ch3, Ch4, Math1, Math2, Math3 and Math4 are also set to
Frame 3.
When you set the Selected Frame Source Ref1 to Frame 2, then Selected Frame
Ref2, Ref3 and Ref4 are also set to Frame 2. If the Frame Tracking is set to Live,
changing Selected Frame Ch1 will not affect the Selected Frame Ref1 frame of
the Reference Frame setting.
When FastFrame Track is set to all, the channel, math and reference waveforms
are locked together. Adjusting a channel waveform also adjusts the related math
and reference waveforms.
For example, when you set the Selected Frame Source Ch1 to Frame 3, then

MASK:AUTOAdjust:HDELTA
This command sets or returns how far autofit searches horizontally.
Autofit moves the waveform vertically and/or horizontally to reduce the number
of hits within a given mask. If infinite or variable persistence is enabled, these
movements will clear any persistant data. If Autofit makes frequent adjustments,
there might be very little or even no persistant data displayed.

Syntax MASK:AUTOAdjust:HDELTA {<NR3>}

MASK:AUTOAdjust:HDELTA?

Arguments <NR3> is a floating point number that represents a percent of a division.

Examples MASK:AUTOADJUST:HDELTA 0.6 sets the horizontal autofit search to

0.6 division.
MASK:AUTOADJUST:HDELTA? might return :MASK:AUTOADJUST:HDELTA 2,
indicating that the horizontal autofit search is set to 2 divisions.

MASK:AUTOAdjust:VDELTA
This command sets or returns how far autofit searches vertically.
Autofit moves the waveform vertically and/or horizontally to reduce the number
of hits within a given mask. If infinite or variable persistence is enabled, these
movements will clear any persistant data. If Autofit makes frequent adjustments,
there might be very little or even no persistant data displayed.

indicating that the vertical autofit search is set to 2 divisions.

MASK:AUTOSet:AUTOAdjust
This command sets or returns whether the instrument settings are automatically
matched to signal characteristics and specific mask requirements. It controls what
happens at the end of a mask autoset. If ON, the horz/vert auto adjustment is run
ONCE to potentially improve the result of mask autoset.
This command, like all the MASK:AUTOSET commands, affects only an autoset
on a standard mask, not the general instrument autoset function.

MASK:AUTOSet:MODe
This command controls whether a mask autoset will be automatically done after
a standard mask is selected. The autoset will never happen if the standard mask
is selected from GPIB, since a SET? sent back to the oscilloscope should not
perform a mask autoset.
The default value is: manual.
This command, like all the MASK:AUTOSET commands, affects only an autoset
on a standard mask, not the general instrument autoset function.

Group Mask

Syntax MASK:AUTOSet:MODe {MANual|AUTO}

Examples MASK:AUTOSET:MODE AUTO sets the mask autoset manually.

MASK:AUTOSET:MODE? might return :MASK:AUTOSET:MODE MANUAL,

indicating that the mask autoset is set manually.

MASK:AUTOSet:OFFSETAdj
This command sets mask autoset not to enforce the rule that, for pulse standards,
require 0 V to be in a certain place in the mask. Instead, mask autoset will attempt
to measure the DC offset in the signal and use oscilloscope offset or position
controls to compensate for the DC offset in the signal.

MASK:POLarity?

Related Commands MASK:TESt:STATE

Arguments BOTh enables testing for both positive and negative pulses. The instrument tests
positive pulses on the mask:source waveform until of the waveform has been
tested. Then the instrument inverts the mask and performs the remaining tests.
NEGAtive enables testing on negative pulses.

 Commands Listed in Alphabetical Order

POSITIVe enables testing on positive pulses. This is the default.

Examples MASK:POLARITY BOTH sets pass/fail to test both positive (normal) and negative
(inverted) waveforms.
MASK:POLARITY? might return :MASK:POLARITY POSITIVE, indicating that
the input waveform polarity for the pass/fail test is set to positive.

MASK:SEG<m> (No Query Form)

This command deletes the specified mask segment from the current mask.

Group Mask

Syntax MASK:SEG<m> DELEte

Arguments <m> is an integer that specifies the mask segment number to delete from the
current mask.
DELETE removes the specified mask segment from the mask.

Examples MASK:SEG3 DELETE deletes mask segment three from the current mask.

MASK:SEG<m>:NR_Pt? (Query Only)

This query-only command returns the number of points that make up the specified
mask segment of the current mask. Each mask point consists of an X-Y pair of
coordinates.

Group Mask

Syntax MASK:SEG<m>:NR_Pt?

Arguments <m> is an integer number that specifies a mask segment number of the current
mask.

Returns <NR1> is 0 to 50.

DPO7000, DPO70000/B and DSA7000/B Series Programmer Manual 2-315

Commands Listed in Alphabetical Order

Examples MASK:SEG2:NR_PT? might return :MASK:SEG2:NR_PT 5.

MASK:SEG<m>:POINTS
This command sets or returns the X-Y user coordinates of all points in the current
mask segment. The set form defines new points in the current mask, replacing any
existing points in the current mask segment; it sets or returns the vertices for a
particular segment in the current mask.

Group Mask

Syntax MASK:SEG<m>:POINTS <NR3>,<NR3>[,<NR3>,<NR3>]

MASK:SEG<m>:POINTS?

Arguments <m> is an integer that specifies the current mask segment number.

<NR3> refers to the coordinates of one of the vertices in the Current mask. Each
pair of numbers represents the horizontal and vertical coordinates of a mask
segment vertex. The pairs must be listed in a counterclockwise order. If the
vertical or horizontal scale or position is changed after this command and then the
query form of this command is issued, the value returned from the instrument will
not be the same. If just one pair is input, it is ignored and the current mask segment
is marked as undefined. The default is no points in the current mask segment.

Examples MASK:SEG2:POINTS -2.3E-9, 44E-3, -2.5E-9, 47E-3, 1.2E-9,

44E-3 defines the points in current mask segment 2.

MASK:SEG2:POINTS? might return :MASK:SEG2:POINTS 0.0000, 0.0000,

indicating that the X-Y user coordinates of all points in the Current mask segment
are set to 0,0.

MASK:SOUrce
This command sets or reports which source will be compared against the mask(s)
when counting is turned on; it controls which trace to use in mask counting. It
also affects mask autoset and how triggering is set up when you select the mask.

MASK:SOUrce?

2-316 DPO7000, DPO70000/B and DSA7000/B Series Programmer Manual

 Commands Listed in Alphabetical Order

Arguments CH<1-4> selects a channel waveform to be compared against the specified mask.
The range for is 1 through 4.
MATH<1-4> selects a math waveform to be compared against the specified mask.
The range for is 1 through 4.
REF<1-4> selects a reference waveform to be compared against the specified
mask. The range is 1 through 4.

Examples MASK:SOURCE CH1 enables CH1 to be compared against the mask. Since a
timebase is not specified, the default, Main, is used.
MASK:SOURCE? might return :MASK:SOURCE CH1,MAIN, indicating that the
Channel 1 waveform will be compared against the mask using the Main timebase.

MASK:STANdard
This command deletes the existing mask (if any) and sets the selected standard
mask. If MASK:COUNt:STATE is ON, mask counting starts immediately. The
query form of this command returns the current mask standard.

NOTE. There are several available mask standards that require a higher
bandwidth than permitted for some instruments. In such cases, a warning is
posted to the standard event system upon selection of any of these standards. To
ensure that the mask you select is fully supported by the instrument, always check
the event status register after selecting a mask standard.

The following warning event is posted if the mask exceeds the instrument
bandwidth: 2318,Consider system bandwidth when testing at this bit rate.

Conditions This command is only valid for instruments with Option MTM installed.

This command sets or returns the window function used to multiply the spectral
analyzer input data for the specified math waveform. The Math waveform is
specified by x, which ranges from 1 through 4. A spectral window determines
what the filter shape of the spectral analyzer will be in the frequency domain. It
can be described by a mathematical function that is multiplied point-by-point times
the input data to the spectral analyzer. This command is equal to selecting Spectral
Setup from the Math menu, and choosing from the Window Type drop-down list.
Following is a list of arguments that specify the window function used to multiply
the spectral analyzer input data. The windows are listed in the order of their
ability to resolve frequencies (resolution bandwidth). For additional information
about spectral windows, see Selecting a Spectral Window in the online help for
this instrument.

MATH<x>:UNITString
This command sets or queries the string to use for units for the math waveform
specified by x, which can be 1 through 4. This command will override the default
unit string with the one that you specify.

Group Math

Syntax MATH<x>:UNITString <QString>

MATH<x>:UNITString?

Arguments <QString> quoted string argument is the units to be used for the specified math

Examples MATH2:UNITString "deg" specifies that the unit of the Math 2 waveform
operation will be called deg.
MATH1:UNITSTRING? might return :MATH1:UNITSTRING "deg" as the unit
for the Math 1 waveform operation.

MATH<x>:VERTical:POSition
This command sets or queries the vertical position of the specified Math
waveform. The Math waveform is specified by x, which ranges from 1 through
4. The position value is usually applied to the signal before it is digitized. The
highest three units/div scale ranges of a given math are implemented by changing
the way the acquired data is displayed. When the instrument is operating in
any of these highest three scale ranges, the position control operates only on

 Commands Listed in Alphabetical Order

the signal after it is digitized. Note that if a signal that exceeds the range of the
digitizer in one of these three scale ranges is repositioned, the displayed waveform
will contain clipped values on-screen. This command is equivalent to selecting
Position/Scale from the Math menu and then entering a Vert Pos value or adjusting
the front panel Vertical POSITION knob.
Increasing the position value of a waveform causes the waveform to move up, and
decreasing the position value causes the waveform to move down. Position adjusts
only the display position of a waveform, whether a channel, math, or reference
waveform. The position value determines the vertical graticule coordinate at
which input signal values, equal to the present offset setting for that reference, are
displayed. For example, if the position for Math 3 is set to 2.0 and the offset is
set to 3.0, then the input signals equal to 3.0 are displayed 2.0 divisions above
the center of the screen.
Be aware that autoscaling occurs when a math waveform is first defined and
enabled, or when a math string changes. After the math waveform is computed
for the first time, the instrument determines the min + max of that waveform
data. Then, the instrument sets the math position so that (min + max)/2 is in
the center of the screen. In addition, the instrument sets the math scale so that
the range of the min and max cover 6 divisions. This autoscaling process can
take up to 1/2 second to complete and will override any vertical scale or position
commands for that math waveform received during this time. You should insert an
appropriate pause in your program after defining and enabling a math waveform
before changing its position or scale.

-1.3000E+00 indicating that the current position of Math 1 waveform is
1.3 divisions below the center graticule.

MATH<x>:VERTical:SCAle
This command sets or queries the vertical scale of the specified math waveform.
The Math waveform is specified by x, which ranges from 1 through 4. This
command is equivalent to selecting Position/Scale from the Math menu and then
entering a Vert Scale value or adjusting the front panel Vertical SCALE knob.
Each waveform has its own vertical scale parameter. For a signal with constant
amplitude, increasing the scale causes the waveform to be displayed smaller.
Decreasing the scale causes the waveform to be displayed larger.
Scale affects all waveforms. For reference and math waveforms, the scale setting
controls the display only, graphically scaling these waveforms and having no
affect on the acquisition hardware.
Be aware that autoscaling occurs when a math waveform is first defined and
enabled, or when a math string changes. After the math waveform is computed
for the first time, the instrument determines the min + max of that waveform
data. Then, the instrument sets the math position so that (min + max)/2 is in

4. This command is equivalent to selecting Reference Waveforms from the File
menu, choosing Reference Setup from the drop-down list, selecting a reference
waveform, and then entering the Scale value using the multipurpose knob.
Each waveform has a vertical scale parameter. For a signal with constant
amplitude, increasing the Scale causes the waveform to be displayed smaller.
Decreasing the scale causes the waveform to be displayed larger.
Scale affects all waveforms, but affects reference and math waveforms differently
from channel waveforms:
For reference and math waveforms, this setting controls the display only,
graphically scaling these waveforms and having no affect on the acquisition
hardware.
For channel waveforms, this setting controls the vertical size of the acquisition
window as well as the display scale. The range and resolution of scale
values depends on the probe attached and any other external factors you have

to this saved state. This is equivalent to selecting Save As from the File menu,
and then pressing the Setup button.

Group Save and Recall

Syntax SAVe:SETUp {<file path>|<NR1>}

Related Commands *RCL, RECAll:SETUp, *SAV

Arguments <file path> is the target location for storing the setup file. <file path> is a
quoted string that defines the file name and path. Input the file path using the form
<drive>:<dir>/<filename>. <drive> and one or more <dir>s are optional. If you
do not specify them, the instrument will store the file in the default directory
(C:\TekScope\setups). <filename> stands for a filename of up to 128 characters.
(Use of wildcard characters in filenames is not supported.) Filename extensions
are not required but are highly recommended. For setups, use the extension
.SET.
<NR1> specifies a location for saving the current front panel setup. The front
panel setup value ranges from 1 to 10. Using an out-of-range value causes an
execution error. Any settings that have been stored previously at this location
will be overwritten.

Examples SAVE:SETUP 5 saves the current instrument setup in memory location 5.

SAVE:SETUP "TEK00000.SET" saves the current instrument setup in the file

TEK00000.SET in the default directory for setups (C:\TekScope\setups).

SAVe:WAVEform (No Query Form)

This command (no query form) saves a waveform to one of four reference
memory locations or a file. This command is equivalent to selecting Reference
Waveforms from the File menu and choosing Save Wfm from the drop-down list.

Group Save and Recall

Syntax SAVe:WAVEform <wfm>,{<file path>|REF<x>}

Related Commands DELEte:WAVEform, RECAll:WAVEform

Arguments <wfm> is the waveform that will be saved. Valid waveforms include CH<x>,
MATH<y>, and REF<x>.
REF<x> specifies the location in internal reference memory where the waveform
is stored.
<file path> is the location where the waveform is stored. <file path> is a
quoted string that defines the file name and path. Input the file path using the
form <drive>/<dir>/<filename>. <drive> and one or more <dir>s are optional. If
you do not specify them, the instrument will read the waveform from the default
directory. <filename> stands for a filename of up to 125 characters, followed by a
period (. ) and the three-character extension. Internal format waveforms use
the .wfm extension, spreadsheet format files use the .csv extension and MathCad
format files use the .dat extension. The instrument will generate an error if you
use any other extension for saving a waveform.

Examples SAVE:WAVEFORM MATH2,REF2 saves the Math2 waveform in reference memory

location2.
SAVE:WAVEFORM MATH1,"TEK0000.WFM" saves the Math1 waveform to the
file TEK00000.WFM in the default directory and on the default drive.

SAVe:WAVEform:FILEFormat
This command specifies or returns the file format for saved waveforms. Waveform
header and timing information is included in the resulting file of non-internal
formats. The instrument saves DPO waveforms as a 1000 x 502 matrix, with the
first row corresponding to the most recently acquired data. The values specified by
DATa:STARt and DATa:STOP determine the range of waveform data to output.
In the event that DATa:STOP value is greater than the current record length, the
current record length determines the last output value.

MATHCad specifies that waveforms are saved in MathCad format, using a .dat
filename extension. When saving in this format, waveform values are delimited
with new lines. MathCad format enables easy import of waveform data into
MathCad or MATLAB. For FastAcq waveforms, data is imported as a matrix. For
these formats, waveform header and timing information is saved in a separate
header file. MathCad format header files use a _hdr.dat extension.
MATLab specifies that waveforms are saved in Matlab format, using a .dat filename
extension. When saving in this format, waveform values are delimited with new
lines. MATLAB format enables easy import of waveform data into MathCad
or MATLAB. For FastAcq waveforms, data is imported as a matrix. For these

SET? (Query Only)

This query-only command returns the commands that list the instrument settings,
except for configuration information for the calibration values. You can use these
commands to return the instrument to the state it was in when you made the SET?
query. The SET? query always returns command headers, regardless of the setting
of the HEADer command. This is because the returned commands are intended
to be sent back to the instrument as a command string. The VERBose command
can still be used to specify whether the returned headers should be abbreviated
or full-length.
This command is identical to the *LRN? command.

Examples If one sets the data format to binary with a TRIGGER: A:SERIAL:DATA:FORMAT
command, as follows: TRIGger:A:SERIAL:DATA:FORMAT BIN then the
following query: TRIGger:A:SERIAL:DATA:PATTERN:S8B10B? might return
the following characters: 1101XXXX10 :
If one next sets the data format to hexadecimal with the

TRIGger:A:SERIAL:DATA:PATTERN:S8B10B? might return the following
characters: 3?? Showing, in this case, 3 followed by two ?. Each hex
character has replaced four binary characters. The hex ?? has replaced the
binary 01XXXX10. The ? was used because "01XX and XX10 dont have
an exact hex representations.
If one sends: TRIGger:A:SERIAL:DATA:PATTERN:S8B10B XXXX XXXa
this will set the pattern to eight hex digits. The space in the middle only serves to
make the pattern easier to read.
Now, if one sends the following query:
TRIGger:A:SERIAL:DATA:PATTERN:S8B10B? this might return: XXXXXXXA
showing the effect of the pattern sent in example 3. The cosmetic space from
example 3 is not returned.

Status and Events
The instrument provides a status and event reporting system for the GPIB
interfaces. This system informs you of certain significant events that occur within
the instrument.
The instrument status handling system consists of five 8-bit registers and two
queues for each interface. The remaining Status subtopics describe these registers
and components. They also explain how the event handling system operates.

Registers
Overview The registers in the event handling system fall into two functional groups:
Status Registers contain information about the status of the instrument. They
include the Standard Event Status Register (SESR).
Enable Registers determine whether selected types of events are reported to
the Status Registers and the Event Queue. They include the Device Event
Status Enable Register (DESER), the Event Status Enable Register (ESER),
and the Service Request Enable Register (SRER).

Status The Standard Event Status Register (SESR) and the Status Byte Register (SBR)
record certain types of events that may occur while the instrument is in use. IEEE
Std 488.2-1987 defines these registers.
Each bit in a Status Register records a particular type of event, such as an
execution error or message available. When an event of a given type occurs, the
instrument sets the bit that represents that type of event to a value of one. (You can
disable bits so that they ignore events and remain at zero. See Enable Registers).
Reading the status registers tells you what types of events have occurred.

The Standard Event Status Register (SESR). The SESR records eight types of
events that can occur within the instrument. Use the *ESR? query to read the
SESR register. Reading the register clears the bits of the register so that the
register can accumulate information about new events.

NOTE. TekVISA applications use SESR bit 6 to respond to any of several events,
including some front panel actions.

5 CME Command Error. Shows that an error occurred while the
instrument was parsing a command or query.
4 EXE Execution Error. Shows that an error executing a command
or query.
3 DDE Device Error. Shows that a device error occurred.
2 QYE Query Error. Either an attempt was made to read the Output
Queue when no data was present or pending, or that data in

1 RQC Request Control. This is not used.
0 (LSB) OPC Operation Complete. Shows that the operation is complete.
This bit is set when all pending operations complete
following an *OPC command.

The Status Byte Register (SBR). Records whether output is available in the
Output Queue, whether the instrument requests service, and whether the SESR
has recorded any events.
Use a Serial Poll or the *STB? query to read the contents of the SBR. The bits in
the SBR are set and cleared depending on the contents of the SESR, the Event
Status Enable Register (ESER), and the Output Queue. When you use a Serial
Poll to obtain the SBR, bit 6 is the RQS bit. When you use the *STB? query to
obtain the SBR, bit 6 is the MSS bit. Reading the SBR does not clear the bits.

Enable DESER, ESER, and SRER allow you to select which events are reported to the
Status Registers and the Event Queue. Each Enable Register acts as a filter to a
Status Register (the DESER also acts as a filter to the Event Queue) and can
prevent information from being recorded in the register or queue.
Each bit in an Enable Register corresponds to a bit in the Status Register it
controls. In order for an event to be reported to a bit in the Status Register, the
corresponding bit in the Enable Register must be set to one. If the bit in the Enable
Register is set to zero, the event is not recorded.
Various commands set the bits in the Enable Registers. The Enable Registers and
the commands used to set them are described as follows.

The Device Event Status Enable Register (DESER). This register controls which
types of events are reported to the SESR and the Event Queue. The bits in the
DESER correspond to those in the SESR.
Use the DESE command to enable and disable the bits in the DESER. Use the
DESE? query to read the DESER.

The Event Status Enable Register (ESER). This register controls which types of
events are summarized by the Event Status Bit (ESB) in the SBR. Use the *ESE
command to set the bits in the ESER. Use the *ESE? query to read it.

The Service Request Enable Register (SRER). This register controls which bits
in the SBR generate a Service Request and are summarized by the Master Status
Summary (MSS) bit.
Use the *SRE command to set the SRER. Use the *SRE? query to read the
register. The RQS bit remains set to one until either the Status Byte Register is
read with a Serial Poll or the MSS bit changes back to a zero.

DPO7000, DPO70000/B and DSA7000/B Series Programmer Manual 3-3

Status and Events

*PSC Command The *PSC command controls the Enable Registers contents at power-on. Sending
*PSC 1 sets the Enable Registers at power on as follows:
DESER 255 (equivalent to a DESe 255 command)
ESER 0 (equivalent to an *ESE 0 command)
SRER 0 (equivalent to an *SRE 0 command)
Sending *PSC 0 lets the Enable Registers maintain their values in nonvolatile
memory through a power cycle.

NOTE. Note: To enable the PON (Power On) event to generate a Service Request,
send *PSC 0, use the DESe and *ESE commands to enable PON in the DESER
and ESER, and use the *SRE command to enable bit 5 in the SRER. Subsequent
power-on cycles will generate a Service Request.

Queues
The *PSC command controls the Enable Registers contents at power-on. Sending
*PSC 1 sets the Enable Registers at power on as follows:

Output Queue The instrument stores query responses in the Output Queue and empties this
queue each time it receives a new command or query message after an <EOM>.
The controller must read a query response before it sends the next command (or
query) or it will lose responses to earlier queries.

CAUTION. When a controller sends a query, an <EOM>, and a second query,

the instrument normally clears the first response and outputs the second while
reporting a Query Error (QYE bit in the ESER) to indicate the lost response. A
fast controller, however, may receive a part or all of the first response as well. To
avoid this situation, the controller should always read the response immediately
after sending any terminated query message or send a DCL (Device Clear) before
sending the second query.

Event Queue The Event Queue stores detailed information on up to 33 events. If more than 32
events stack up in the Event Queue, the 32nd event is replaced by event code
350, Queue Overflow.
Read the Event Queue with the EVENT? query (which returns only the event
number), with the EVMSG? query (which returns the event number and a text
description of the event), or with the ALLEV? query (which returns all the event
numbers along with a description of the event). Reading an event removes it
from the queue.

3-4 DPO7000, DPO70000/B and DSA7000/B Series Programmer Manual

 Status and Events

Before reading an event from the Event Queue, you must use the *ESR? query to
read the summary of the event from the SESR. This makes the events summarized
by the *ESR? read available to the EVENT? and EVMSG? queries, and empties
the SESR.
Reading the SESR erases any events that were summarized by previous *ESR?
reads but not read from the Event Queue. Events that follow an *ESR? read are
put in the Event Queue but are not available until *ESR? is used again.

Event Handling Sequence

The figure below shows how to use the status and event handling system. In the
explanation that follows, numbers in parentheses refer to numbers in the figure.

DPO7000, DPO70000/B and DSA7000/B Series Programmer Manual 3-5

Status and Events

When an event occurs, a signal is sent to the DESER (1). If that type of event
is enabled in the DESER (that is, if the bit for that event type is set to 1), the
appropriate bit in the SESR is set to one, and the event is recorded in the Event
Queue (2). If the corresponding bit in the ESER is also enabled (3), then the
ESB bit in the SBR is set to one (4).
When output is sent to the Output Queue, the MAV bit in the SBR is set to one (5).
When a bit in the SBR is set to one and the corresponding bit in the SRER
is enabled (6), the MSS bit in the SBR is set to one and a service request is
generated (7).

Synchronization Methods
Overview Although most GPIB commands are completed almost immediately after being
received by the instrument, some commands start a process that requires more
time. For example, once a single sequence acquisition command is executed,
depending upon the applied signals and trigger settings, it may be a few seconds
before the acquisition is complete. Rather than remain idle while the operation is
in process, the instrument will continue processing other commands. This means
that some operations will not be completed in the order that they were sent.
Sometimes the result of an operation depends on the result of an earlier operation.
A first operation must complete before the next one gets processed. The
instrument status and event reporting system provides ways to do this.
For example, a typical application might involve acquiring a single-sequence
waveform and then taking a measurement on the acquired waveform. You could
use the following command sequence to do this:
/** Set up conditional acquisition **/
ACQUIRE:STATE OFF
SELECT:CH1 ON
HORIZONTAL:MODE:RECORDLENGTH 1000
ACQUIRE:MODE SAMPLE
ACQUIRE:STOPAFTER SEQUENCE
/** Acquire waveform data **/
ACQUIRE:STATE ON
/** Set up the measurement parameters **/
MEASUREMENT:IMMED:TYPE AMPLITUDE
MEASUREMENT: IMMED:SOURCE CH1
/** Take amplitude measurement **/
MEASUREMENT: MEAS1:VALUE

The acquisition of the waveform requires extended processing time. It may not
finish before the instrument takes an amplitude measurement (see the following
figure). This can result in an incorrect amplitude value.

3-6 DPO7000, DPO70000/B and DSA7000/B Series Programmer Manual

 Status and Events

To ensure that the instrument completes waveform acquisition before taking the
measurement on the acquired data, you can synchronize the program.

You can use four commands to synchronize the operation of the instrument with
your application program: *WAI, BUSY, *OPC, and *OPC

*WAI The *WAI command forces completion of previous commands that generate
an OPC message. No commands after the *WAI are processed before the OPC
message(s) are generated
The same command sequence using the *WAI command for synchronization
looks like this:
/* Set up conditional acquisition */
ACQUIRE:STATE OFF
SELECT:CH1 ON
HORIZONTAL:MODE:RECORDLENGTH 1000
ACQUIRE:MODE SAMPLE
ACQUIRE:STOPAFTER SEQUENCE
/* Acquire waveform data */
ACQUIRE:STATE ON
/* Set up the measurement parameters */
MEASUREMENT:IMMED:TYPE AMPLITUDE
MEASUREMENT:IMMED:SOURCE CH1
/* Wait until the acquisition is complete before taking
the measurement*/
*/
*WAI
/* Take amplitude measurement */
MEASUREMENT:IMMED:VALUE

The controller can continue to write commands to the input buffer of the
instrument, but the commands will not be processed by the instrument until all
OPC operations in process are complete. If the input buffer becomes full, the

DPO7000, DPO70000/B and DSA7000/B Series Programmer Manual 3-7

Status and Events

controller will be unable to write more commands to the buffer. This can cause a
time-out.

BUSY The BUSY? query allows you to find out whether the instrument is busy
processing a command that has an extended processing time such as
single-sequence acquisition.
The same command sequence, using the BUSY? query for synchronization, looks
like this:
/* Set up conditional acquisition */
ACQUIRE:STATE OFF
SELECT:CH1 ON
HORIZONTAL:MODE:RECORDLENGTH 1000
ACQUIRE:MODE SAMPLE
ACQUIRE:STOPAFTER SEQUENCE
/* Acquire waveform data */
ACQUIRE:STATE ON
/* Set up the measurement parameters */
MEASUREMENT:IMMED:TYPE AMPLITUDE
MEASUREMENT:IMMED:SOURCE CH1
/* Wait until the acquisition is complete before taking
the measurement */
While BUSY keep looping
/* Take amplitude measurement */
MEASUREMENT:IMMED:VALUE

This sequence lets you create your own wait loop rather than using the *WAI
command. The BUSY? query helps you avoid time-outs caused by writing too
many commands to the input buffer. The controller is still tied up though, and the
repeated BUSY? query will result in more bus traffic.
*OPC
If the corresponding status registers are enabled, the *OPC command sets the
OPC bit in the Standard Event Status Register (SESR) when an operation is
complete. You achieve synchronization by using this command with either a
serial poll or service request handler.
Serial Poll Method: Enable the OPC bit in the Device Event Status Enable
Register (DESER) and the Event Status Enable Register (ESER) using the DESE
and *ESE commands.
When the operation is complete, the OPC bit in the Standard Event Status Register
(SESR) will be enabled and the Event Status Bit (ESB) in the Status Byte Register
will be enabled.
The same command sequence using the *OPC command for synchronization with
serial polling looks like this:
/* Set up conditional acquisition */

*/
*OPC
While serial poll = 0, keep looping
/* Take amplitude measurement */
MEASUREMENT:IMMED:VALUE
This technique requires less bus traffic than did looping on BUSY.
Service Request Method: Enable the OPC bit in the Device Event Status Enable
Register (DESER) and the Event Status Enable Register (ESER) using the DESE
and *ESE commands.
You can also enable service requests by setting the ESB bit in the Service Request
Enable Register (SRER) using the *SRE command. When the operation is
complete, a Service Request will be generated.
The same command sequence using the *OPC command for synchronization
looks like this
/* Set up conditional acquisition */

*OPC
The program can now do different tasks such as talk to other devices. The SRQ,
when it comes, interrupts those tasks and returns control to this task.
/* Take amplitude measurement */
MEASUREMENT:IMMED:VALUE
This technique is more efficient but requires more sophisticated programming.
*OPC?
The *OPC? query places a 1 in the Output Queue once an operation that generates
an OPC message is complete. A time out could occur if you try to read the output
queue before there is any data in it.
The same command sequence using the *OPC? query for synchronization looks
like this:
/* Set up conditional acquisition */

/* Acquire waveform data */

ACQUIRE:STATE ON
/* Set up the measurement parameters */
MEASUREMENT:IMMED:TYPE AMPLITUDE
MEASUREMENT:IMMED:SOURCE CH1
/* Wait until the acquisition is complete before taking the measurement
*/
*OPC?
Wait for read from Output Queue.
/* Take amplitude measurement */
MEASUREMENT:IMMED:VALUE
This is the simplest approach. It requires no status handling or loops. However,
you must set the controller time-out for longer than the acquisition operation.

Messages Overview. The information contained in the topic tabs above covers all the
programming interface messages the instrument generates in response to
commands and queries.
For most messages, a secondary message from the instrument gives more detail
about the cause of the error or the meaning of the message. This message is part
of the message string and is separated from the main message by a semicolon.
Each message is the result of an event. Each type of event sets a specific bit in the
SESR and is controlled by the equivalent bit in the DESER. Thus, each message
is associated with a specific SESR bit. In the message tables, the associated SESR
bit is specified in the table title, with exceptions noted with the error message text.

No Event. The following table shows the messages when the system has no events
or status to report. These have no associated SESR bit.

Table 3-3: No Event Messages

Code Message
0 No events to report; queue empty
1 No events to report; new events pending *ESR?

Command Error. The following table shows the command error messages
generated by improper syntax. Check that the command is properly formed and
that it follows the rules in the section on command Syntax.

The following tables list the default setup values by command group. The
instrument sets these values when you press the front panel DEFAULT SETUP
button or send the FACtory command. Only those commands that have values set
by the DEFAULT SETUP function are listed in these tables.

NOTE. The following commands do not affect the DATa parameters: TEKSecure,
*RST, RECALL:SETUP FACtory. These are the initial factory default settings for
DATa :DATA:DESTINATION REF1;ENCDG RIBINARY;SOURCE CH1;START

Acceptor Handshake AH1 The instrument can receive multiline messages
across the interface from other devices.
Controller C1 Controller capability, the instrument can control other
devices.
Device Clear DC1 The instrument can respond to both the DCL (Device
Clear) interface message and to the Selected Device
Clear (SDC) interface message when the instrument
is listen-addressed.
Device Trigger DT1 Device Trigger capability, the instrument does
respond to the GET (Group Execute Trigger)
interface message.
Electrical E2 The instrument uses tri-state buffers, which are
optimal for high-speed data transfer.
Listener L4 The instrument becomes a listener when it detects
the listen address being sent over the bus with the
ATN line asserted. The instrument ceases to be a
listener and becomes a talker when it detects the
talk address being sent over the bus with the ATN
line asserted.
Parallel Poll PP0 No Parallel Poll Capability, the instrument does
not respond to PPC (Parallel Poll Configure), PPO
(Parallel POll Disable, PPE (Parallel Poll Enable), or
PPU (Parallel Poll Unconfigure) interface messages,
nor does it send a status message when the ATN
and EOI lines are asserted simultaneously.
Remote/Local RL1 The instrument can respond to both GTL (Go To
Local) and LLO (Local Lock Out) interface messages.
Service Request SR1 The instrument can assert the SRQ line to notify the
controller in charge that it requires service.
Source Handshake SH1 The instrument can initiate multiline messages to
send across the interface to other devices.
Talker T5 The instrument becomes a talker when it detects the
talk address being sent over the bus with the ATN
line asserted. The instrument ceases to be a talker
and becomes a listener when it detects the listen
address being sent over the bus with the ATN line
asserted. The instrument also ceases to be a talker
when it detects the talk address of another device
being sent over the data lines with ATN asserted.

Glossary
ASCII
Acronym for the American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
Controllers transmit commands to the instrument using ASCII character encoding.
Address
A 7-bit code that identifies an instrument on the communication bus. The
digitizing instrument must have a unique address for the controller to recognize
and transmit commands to it.
Backus-Naur Form (BNF)
A standard notation system for command syntax diagrams. The syntax diagrams
in this manual use BNF notation.
Controller
A computer or other device that sends commands to and accepts responses from
the digitizing instrument.
EOI
A mnemonic referring to the control line End or Identify on the GPIB interface
bus. One of the two possible end-of-message terminators.
EOM
A generic acronym referring to the end-of-message terminator. The
end-of-message terminator can be either an EOI or the ASCII code for line feed
(LF).
Equivalent-time sampling (ET)
A sampling mode in which the instrument acquires signals over many repetitions
of the event. This instrument uses a type of equivalent time sampling called
random equivalent time sampling. It utilizes an internal clock that runs
asynchronously with respect to the input signal and the signal trigger. The
instrument takes samples continuously, independent of the trigger position, and
displays them based on the time difference between the sample and the trigger.
Although the samples are taken sequentially in time, they are random with respect
to the trigger.
Real-time sampling
A sampling mode where the instrument samples fast enough to completely fill a
waveform record from a single trigger event. Use real-time sampling to capture
single-shot or transient events.
GPIB
An acronym for General Purpose Interface Bus, the common name for the
interface system defined in IEEE Std-488.
IEEE
An acronym for the Institute for Electrical and Electronic Engineers.

TEKSecure
A Tektronix custom command that initializes both waveform and setup memories.
This overwrites any previously stored data.
Serial Poll
A device on the GPIB bus can request service from the GPIB Controller by
asserting the GPIB SRQ line (a Hardware line that is only present on the GPIB
communications bus). When a controller acknowledges the SRQ, it serial polls
each open device on the bus to determine which device on the bus requested
service. Any device requesting service returns a status byte with bit 6 set and
then unasserts the SRQ line. Devices not requiring service return a status byte
with bit 6 cleared.
