This subsystem creates and deletes channels and assigns names to channels. The commands are device-specific.
Command tree: CONFigure:CHANnel<Ch>
Returns the numbers and names of all channels in the current setup.
|
<Ch> |
Channel number. This parameter is ignored because the command returns all channels.
|
|
Response |
String with comma-separated list of channel numbers and names, see example below. If all channels have been deleted the response is an empty string ("").
|
|
*RST value |
–
|
|
SCPI, Command Types |
Device-specific, query only.
|
|
Example: |
*RST; CONF:CHAN2:STAT ON; NAME 'New Channel' Create channel 2 and assign the channel name "New Channel". CONF:CHAN:CAT? Query all channels and their names. As a default channel no. 1 is created on *RST, the response is '1,Ch1,2,New_Channel'. CONF:CHAN:NAME:ID? 'New Channel' Query the channel number for the channel named "New Channel". The response is 2.
|
Assigns a name to channel number <Ch>. The channel must be created before (CONFigure:CHANnel<Ch>[:STATe] ON). Moreover it is not possible to assign the same name to two different channels. CONFigure:CHANnel<Ch>:CATalog? returns a list of all defined channels with their names.
|
<Ch> |
Number of an existing channel.
|
|
'<Ch_name>' |
Channel name, e.g. 'Channel 4'.
|
|
*RST value |

|
SCPI, Command Types |
Device-specific, command or query.

|
Queries the channel number (numeric suffix) of a channel with kown channel name. A channel name must be assigned before (CONFigure:CHANnel<Ch>NAME '<Ch_name>'). CONFigure:CHANnel<Ch>:CATalog? returns a list of all defined channels with their names.
|
<Ch> |
Channel number. This suffix is not relevant and may be omitted (the command returns the right channel number).
|
|
'<Ch_name>' |
Channel name, e.g. 'Channel 4'.
|
|
*RST value |

SCPI, Command Types |
Device-specific, command or query.

|
Creates or deletes channel no. <Ch> and selects it as the active channel. CONFigure:CHANnel<Ch>:NAME defines the channel name.
A
channel created with CONFigure:CHANnel<Ch>[:STATe]
ON can be configured but has no trace assigned so that no measurement
can be initiated. Use CALCulate<Ch>:PARameter:SDEFine
"<Trace_name>,"<Parameter>"
to create a new channel and a new trace.
In remote control it is possible to remove all channels. This is in contrast
to manual control where at least one channel with one diagram area and
one trace must be available.
|
<Ch> |
Number of the channel to be created or deleted.
|
|
<Boolean> |
ON | OFF - Create or delete channel. |
|
*RST value |
ON for channel no. 1 (created on *RST), OFF for all other channels.
