Type

Range of Values

Default Value

<point>

Numeric

Desired starting point. Specify any value between 0 (first point) and the last point in the trace (last point  1).

<ch_list>

Numeric

One or more channels in the form (@sccc).
Select from s001, s002, s003, or s004.

This is a required parameter

Remarks

  • If you have not associated a trace name with the specified channels (see SOURce:FUNCtion:TRACe[:NAME] command), an error is generated if you attempt to set the starting point.

  • If you specify a starting point that is greater than or equal to the last point in the trace, an error is generated.

  • If you assign a new trace name to a channel, the starting point is automatically reset to 0.

  • You cannot assign a new starting point while a trace output is currently running.

  • A Factory Reset (*RST command), Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command), and Card Reset (SYSTem:CPON command) will reset the starting point to 0. In addition, storing the instrument state (*SAV command) will reset the starting point to 0.

Return Format

The query command returns the starting point in the form "+0.00000000E+00" for each DAC channel specified. Multiple responses are separated by commas.
