:TIMebase:DELay:SCALe
Syntax :TIMebase:DELay:SCALe <scale_value>
:TIMebase:DELay:SCALe?
Description
Set or query the delayed timebase scale. The default unit is s/div.
Parameter
Name
Type
Range
Default
<scale_value> Real See Explanation 500ns
Explanation  The maximum of <scale_value> is the main timebase scale currently set and the
minimum is related to the current sample rate (satisfying the inequality: current
sample rate * delayed timebase scale * 7 ≥ 14) and is no less than 1ns.
 The delayed timebase scale can only be the maximum or the value decreased
from the maximum in 1-2-5 step. If the minimum calculated by the inequality
mentioned above is not a settable value, the larger settable value that is nearest
to the calculated value will be used as the minimum. If the value set is between
two settable values, the smaller one will be used as the delayed timebase scale
automatically.
 For example, when the main timebase scale currently set is 10.00μs and the
sample rate is 500MSa/s, the maximum of <scale_value> is 10.00μs. The
minimum is calculated using the inequality: ≥ 14 / (500MSa/s * 7) = 40ns. Taking
the larger settable value that is nearest to the calculated value, the minimum is
50ns. At this point, if 0.000009 (namely 9μs) is set, the instrument sets the
delayed timebase scale to 5μs.
Return Format
The query returns the scale in scientific notation.
Example :TIMebase:DELay:SCALe 0.00000005 /*Set the delayed timebase scale to 50ns*/
:TIMebase:DELay:SCALe? /*The query returns 5.0000000e-08*/

Command
:TIMebase[:MAIN]:SCALe
:TIMebase[:MAIN]:OFFSet
Syntax :TIMebase[:MAIN]:OFFSet <offset>
:TIMebase[:MAIN]:OFFSet?
Description
Set or query the main timebase offset. The default unit is s.
Parameter
Name
Type
Range
Default
<offset>
Real
-Screen/2 to 1s or -Screen/2 to 5000s
0
Explanation  This command is invalid when the horizontal timebase mode is Roll and the
oscilloscope is in the Run state.
 When the horizontal timebase mode is YT and the horizontal timebase is 20ms
or larger (namely the “Slow Sweep” mode), this command is invalid when the
oscilloscope in the Stoping state.
Return Format
The query returns the offset in scientific notation.
Example
:TIMebase:MAIN:OFFSet 0.0002 /*Set the main timebase offset to 20ms*/
