TVS600 & TVS600A Command Reference
SWEep:TIME
SWEep:TIME?
Sets or queries the time span or duration of the waveform record. All channels
share the same time span. Set SWEep:POINts for the desired record length
before setting the record duration with SWEep:TIME. Issuing these two
commands sets the sample interval (SWEep:TINTerval) to the nearest legal
value.
When using SWEep:POINts and SWEep:TIME to configure the acquisition, be
careful to program SWEep:POINts before SWEep:TIME, because
SWEep:POINts may modify SWEep:TIME.
SWEep:TIME is not returned in the response to the query *LRN?, since it can be
derived as follows: SWEepTIME = SWEep:POINts * SWEep:TINTerval
[SENSe:]SWEep:TIME <time_span>

The default multiplier for <time_span> is S for seconds. You can also use the
multipliers MS for milliseconds, US for microseconds, NS for nanoseconds, and PS
for picoseconds.
