## Command Syntax

    :MEASure:EYE:PAM:SKEW

## Query Syntax

    :MEASure:EYE:PAM:SKEW?

## Description

Starts the PAM Level Skews measurement, which measures the skew (seconds or UI) of a selected level of a PAM eye diagram relative to the average center time of all levels. On NRZ signals, this measurement will measure the level one and zero skew relative to each other. Before sending this command, select the actual level to be measured using the `:MEASure:EYE:PAM:SKEW:LEVel` child command. To measure all the levels on a signal, you must send this command once for each level as there is no command for simultaneously measuring all level skews. This measurement is affected by the settings in the PAM-N Analysis Setup dialog box. The query form of the command returns the measured value.

Use the `:MEASure:EYE:PAM:SKEW:SOURce` command to specify the real-time eye diagram on which to make the measurement.
