Parameter
Name Type Range Default
<sweep> Discrete {AUTO|NORMal|SINGle} AUTO
Explanation
AUTO:
After this mode is selected, the oscilloscope starts searching for trigger signals that meet the
specified condition. If trigger signals that meet the specified condition are found, "T’D" is displayed at
the upper-left corner of the user interface and stable waveform is displayed. Otherwise, "AUTO" is
displayed and unstable waveform is displayed.
NORMal:
After this mode is selected, the oscilloscope enters the wait-for-trigger state and starts searching for
trigger signals that meet the specified condition. If trigger signals that meet the specified condition
are found, "T’D" is displayed in the running status bar and stable waveform is displayed. Otherwise,
"WAIT" is displayed and the waveform of the last trigger (there is a last trigger) or no waveform
(there is not a last trigger) is displayed.
SINGle:
When this mode is selected, the backlight of SINGLE turns on. The oscilloscope enters the
wait-for-trigger state and starts searching for trigger signals that meet the specified condition. If
trigger signals that meet the specified condition are found, "T’D" is displayed in the running status
bar and stable waveform is displayed. Then, the oscilloscope stops sweeping, the backlight of
RUN/STOP turns on and "STOP" is displayed in the running status bar. Otherwise, "WAIT" is
displayed in the running status bar and no waveform is displayed.
Return Format
The query returns AUTO, NORM, or SING.
