Appendix D: Waveform Transfer (WFMOutpre and CURVe Query) Examples
WFMOutpre? Q uery results
Explanation
YOFF 0.0E+0
This value indicates the vertical position of the source waveform in digitizing levels. There
are 25 digitizing levels per vertical division. This is query only. (If you would like to determine
only this valu
e, use the WFMOutpre:YOFf? query.)
YZERO 0.0E+0
This value in
dicates the vertical offset of the source waveform in units specified by the
WFMOUTpre:YUNit command. This is query only. (If you would like to determine only this
value, use the WFMOutpre:YZEro? query.)
