Appendix D: Waveform Transfer (WFMOutpre and CURVe Query) Examples
WFMOutpre? Query results
Explanation
YUNIT "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, S
tate. This is query only. (If you would like to determine only this value, use
the WFMOutpre:YUNit? query.)
YMULT 1.0000
This v alue 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
youwouldli
ke to determine only this v alue, use the WFMOutpre:YMUlt? query.)
YOFF 0.0E+0
This value i
ndicates the vertical position of the source waveform in digitizing levels. There
are 25 digitizing l evels per vertical division. This is query only. (If you 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
WFMOUTpr
e:YUNit
command. This is query only. (If you would like to determine only this
value, use the WFMOutpre:YZEro? query.)
Example
7: RF Frequency Domain Waveform
Goal: Transfer 5 points of RF frequency domain data from the oscilloscope to
a PC using 4 bytes per point.
NOTE. A
frequency domain waveform used in data transfer from the oscilloscope
to a PC or other device may be one of the four RF frequency domain traces or
the Spectrum Math waveform.
