Safety Notices
CAUTION
A CAUTION notice denotes a hazard. It calls attention to an operating procedure, practice, or the like
that, if not correctly performed or
adhered to, could result in damage
to the product or loss of important
data. Do not proceed beyond a
CAUTION notice until the indicated
conditions are fully understood and
met.
WARNING
A WARNING notice denotes a
hazard. It calls attention to an
operating procedure, practice, or
the like that, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result
in personal injury or death. Do not
proceed beyond a WARNING
notice until the indicated conditions are fully understood and met.
If software is for use in the performance of
a U.S. Government prime contract or subcontract, Software is delivered and
licensed as “Commercial computer software” as defined in DFAR 252.227-7014
(June 1995), or as a “commercial item” as
defined in FAR 2.101(a) or as “Restricted
computer software” as defined in FAR
52.227-19 (June 1987) or any equivalent
In This Book
This programmer's reference gives detailed information on all the
commands available for controlling these oscilloscope models:

The command descriptions in this reference show upper and lowercase
characters. For example, :AUToscale indicates that the entire command
name is :AUTOSCALE. The short form, :AUT, is also accepted by the
oscilloscope.
Command arguments and syntax are described for each command. Some
command descriptions have example code.

programming.

operation.

Mixed-Signal
Oscilloscope
Channel
Differences
Because both the "analog channels only" oscilloscopes (DSO models) and
the mixed-signal oscilloscopes (MSO models) have analog channels, topics
that describe analog channels refer to all oscilloscope models. Whenever a
topic describes digital channels, that information applies only to the
mixed-signal oscilloscope models.
Example
Programs
The example programs are designed to work with multiple 6000 Series
oscilloscopes. Therefore, the commands may not match the example code
exactly, but the example code should run because of the designed- in
backward compatibility with earlier commands.

What's New in Version 4.10
New features in version 4.10 of the 6000 Series oscilloscope software are:
• The ability to trigger on and decode FlexRay serial bus data using a
Decomsys BusDoctor 2 protocol analyzer with a four-channel
mixed-signal oscilloscope that includes the Option FRS license.
• The square root waveform math function.
• Several new hardcopy printer drivers.
More detailed descriptions of the new and changed commands appear
below.

and the high resolution color display.
• New standards supported by the :TRIGger:TV commands.
• Support for 113xA Series probes.
• New "RAW" :WAVeform:POINts option for retrieving raw acquisition

Number Format
NR1 specifies integer data.
NR3 specifies exponential data in floating point format (for example,
-1.0E-3).
<NL> (Line Terminator)
<NL> = new line or linefeed (ASCII decimal 10).
The line terminator, or a leading colon, will send the parser to the "root"
of the command tree.
[ ] (Optional Syntax Terms)
Items enclosed in square brackets, [ ], are optional.
{ } (Braces)
When several items are enclosed by braces, { }, only one of these elements
may be selected. Vertical line ( | ) indicates "or". For example, {ON | OFF}
indicates that only ON or OFF may be selected, not both.
::= (Defined As)
::= means "defined as".
70 Agilent 6000 Series Oscilloscopes Programmer's Reference
For example, <A> ::= <B> indicates that <A> can be replaced by <B> in any
statement containing <A>.
< > (Angle Brackets)
< > Angle brackets enclose words or characters that symbolize a program
code parameter or an interface command.
... (Ellipsis)
... An ellipsis (trailing dots) indicates that the preceding element may be
repeated one or more times.
n,..,p (Value Ranges)
n,..,p ::= all integers between n and p inclusive.
d (Digits)
Commands Quick Reference 2
d ::= A single ASCII numeric character 0 - 9.
Quoted ASCII String
A quoted ASCII string is a string delimited by either double quotes (") or
single quotes ('). Some command parameters require a quoted ASCII
string. For example, when using the Agilent VISA COM library in Visual
Basic, the command:
myScope.WriteString ":CHANNEL1:LABEL 'One'"
has a quoted ASCII string of:
'One'
In order to read quoted ASCII strings from query return values, some
programming languages require special handling or syntax.
Definite-Length Block Response Data
Definite- length block response data allows any type of device-dependent
data to be transmitted over the system interface as a series of 8- bit binary
data bytes. This is particularly useful for sending large quantities of data
or 8- bit extended ASCII codes. This syntax is a pound sign (#) followed by
a non- zero digit representing the number of digits in the decimal integer.
After the non-zero digit is the decimal integer that states the number of
8- bit data bytes being sent. This is followed by the actual data.
For example, for transmitting 1000 bytes of data, the syntax would be

Introduction to
Common (*)
Commands
The common commands are defined by the IEEE 488.2 standard. They are
implemented by all instruments that comply with the IEEE 488.2 standard.
They provide some of the basic instrument functions, such as instrument
identification and reset, reading the instrument setup, and determining
how status is read and cleared.
Common commands can be received and processed by the instrument
whether they are sent over the interface as separate program messages or
within other program messages. If an instrument subsystem has been
selected and a common command is received by the instrument, the
instrument remains in the selected subsystem. For example, if the program
message ":ACQuire:TYPE AVERage; *CLS; COUNt 256" is received by the
instrument, the instrument sets the acquire type, then clears the status
information and sets the average count.
In contrast, if a root level command or some other subsystem command is
within the program message, you must re-enter the original subsystem
after the command. For example, the program message ":ACQuire:TYPE
AVERage; :AUToscale; :ACQuire:COUNt 256" sets the acquire type,
completes the autoscale, then sets the acquire count. In this example,
:ACQuire must be sent again after the :AUToscale command in order to
re- enter the ACQuire subsystem and set the count.

The *ESE common command sets the bits in the Standard Event Status
Enable Register. The Standard Event Status Enable Register contains a
mask value for the bits to be enabled in the Standard Event Status
Register. A "1" in the Standard Event Status Enable Register enables the
corresponding bit in the Standard Event Status Register. A zero disables
the bit.

See Also • "Introduction to Common (*) Commands" on page 77
*TST?
The *TST? query performs a self- test on the instrument. The result of the
test is placed in the output queue. A zero indicates the test passed and a
non-zero indicates the test failed. If the test fails, refer to the
troubleshooting section of the Service Guide.
<result><NL>
<result> ::= 0 or non-zero value; an integer in NR1 format
