Appendix D: Waveform Transfer (WFMOutpre and CURVe Query) Examples
WFMOutpre? Query results
Explanation
WFID "Digital, unknown
coupling, 100.0us/div,
10000 points, Digital
mode"
This quoted string represents information about the source waveform that would be returned
by a.
WFMOutpre:WFId? query. It cannot be changed.
NR_PT 25
This value indicates the number of data points in the waveform record to be transferred
using the CURVE? query. (If you would lik e to determine only this value, use the
WFMOutpre:NR_Pt? query.) Note: this value is typically equal to the full record length,
but you also have the option to transfer onl y a portion of the record length by using the
DATa:STARt and DATa:STOP commands.
PT_FMT Y
This value indicates the format of the data points in the waveform record. In this case,
the value represents YT format. This is query only – the returned values can be Y for YT
format or ENV for envelope format (min/max pairs). (If you would like to determine only this
value, use the WFMOutpre:PT_Fmt? query.)
PT_ORDER LINEAR
This value is alw ays LINear.
XUNIT "s"
This value indicates the units of the x-axis of the waveform record. This is determined by the
horizontal settings for the waveform source. Typically, this value is “s”, representing seconds.
When using the math waveform as a source, the value can be “s” or “Hz”. This is query only.
(If you would like to determine only this value, use the WFMOutpre:XUNit? query.)
XINCR 1.2121E-9
This value indicates the time, in seconds, or frequency, in hertz, between data p oints in the
waveform record. This is query only. (If you would like to determine only this value, use
the WFMOutpre:XINcr? query.)
XZER0 -6.0606E-6
This value indicates the time, in seconds, or frequency, in hertz, of the first data point in the
waveform record. This time or frequency is relative to the time of the trigger, which is always
0. So, this XZEro time or frequency can be negative. This is query only. (If you would like to
determine only this value, use the WFMOutpre:XZEro? query.)
PT_OFF 0
This is a query provided only for compatibility with performance oscilloscopes. The
returned value is always 0. (If you would like to determine only this value, use the
WFMOutpre:PT_Off? query.)
YUNI
T "State"
This value indicates the vertical units of data points in the waveform record. This can be
any of several string values, depending upon the vertical units of the source waveform –
in this case, State. T his is query only. (If you would like to determine only this value, use
the WFMOutpre:YUNit? query.)
YMULT 1.0000
This value indicates the multiplying factor to convert the data point values from digitizing
levels to the units specified by the
WFMOUTpre:YUNit command. This is query only. (If
you would like to determine only this value, use the WFMOutpre:YMUlt? query.)
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 y ou would like to determine
only this value, use the WFMOutpre:YOFf? query.)
YZERO 0.0E+0
This value indicates 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.)
