Quick Reference to TVS600 & TVS600A Commands
This manual provides an abbreviated reference to the commands of
TVS600 and TVS600A Series Waveform Analyzers. Use this
reference to find the correct syntax for the commands. The
commands are grouped by subsystem node and listed in alphabetical
order.
In general, the term TVS600A includes the TVS600A and the
TVS600 models. Some commands apply only to TVS600A models;
these commands appear in bold type.
Syntax
Commands ending with “?” are queries only. Commands ending with
“[?]” have command and query forms. All other commands do not
have a query form. Items in brackets [] are optional.
Commands include the argument type for their command form, and
their query form when applicable. The types are briefly defined as
follows:
<bin–block> — binary data block
<boolean> — ON or 1, OFF or 0
<expression> — algebraic expression
<hex> — hexadecimal number: #HFF
<none> — no command argument
<NRf> — flexible number format: NR1, NR2 or NR3
<string> — quoted ASCII character string

Quick Reference to TVS600 & TVS600A Commands
Commands can also include the argument-type enumerated; for this
type, the alternative argument forms are listed as follows:
Form: Example:
<arg1 | arg2 | argn> <BPASs | HPASs | LPASs |
NOTCh>
<arg1–argn> <CHAN1–CHAN4>
Sometimes the forms are combined, for example:
<CHAN1–CHAN4 | AATS | CALC1–CALC4>
which means:
(one of CHAN 1, CHAN 2 , CHAN 3, or CHAN 4) OR
AATS OR (one of CALC1, CALC2, CALC3, or CALC4)
For detailed descriptions of the commands and argument types, refer
to your TVS600 & TVS600A Series Command Reference manual.

Commands
Some commands in the following list apply only to TVS600A
models; these commands appear in bold type.
AADVance
Commands in the [SENSe:]AADVance subsystem control how
auto-advance acquisition records are acquired and transferred to a
VXIbus controller.

analyzer to the VXIbus controller or to internal REF storage

setting the format for data transfers.
The query does not return data until pending acquisitions or
