FRONT PANEL CONTROLS and AUTO FUNCTIONS
STRT The STRT command starts or resumes a scan (and sweep). This func-
tion is the same as pressing the [START/CONT] key. STRT is ignored if
a scan is already in progress.
PAUS The PAUS command pauses a scan. All sweeps in progress also pause.
If a scan is already paused, stopped or done, then this command is
ignored (the scan is not reset).
REST The REST command resets a scan. The REST command can be sent at
any time - any scan in progress, paused or not, will be reset. This com-
mand will erase the data buffer. All swept parameters are reset to their
start values.
ATRC (?) {i} The ATRC command selects the active display. The parameter i selects
Top (i=0) or Bottom (i=1). If the display is full screen, then it is always the
active display.
ASCL The ASCL command auto scales the active display. This command is
just like pressing the [AUTO SCALE] key. Only Bar and Chart displays
are affected.
AGAN The AGAN command performs the Auto Gain function. This command is
the same as pressing the [AUTO GAIN] key. Auto Gain may take some
time if the time constant is long. Check the command execution in
progress bit in the Serial Poll Status Byte (bit 1) to determine when the
function is finished.
ARSV The ARSV command performs the Auto Reserve function. This com-
mand is the same as pressing the [AUTO RESERVE] key. Auto Reserve
may take some time. Check the command execution in progress bit in
the Serial Poll Status Byte (bit 1) to determine when the function is
finished.
APHS The APHS command performs the Auto Phase function. This command
is the same as pressing the [AUTO PHASE] key. The outputs will take
many time constants to reach their new values. Do not send the APHS
command again without waiting the appropriate amount of time.
AOFF i The AOFF i command automatically offsets X (i=1), Y (i=2) or R (i=3) to
zero. The parameter i is required. This command is equivalent to press-
ing the Auto softkey in the Offset & Expand menu box.
CMAX The CMAX command is just like pressing the [CURSOR MAX/MIN] key.
The cursor will move to the max or min of the data (as set by the CSEK
command) on the active chart display . Only effective if the active display
is a chart display.
