:CHANnel Subsystem

:CHANnel Commands

The Channel subsystem commands control all vertical (Y axis) functions. To control differential waveforms, use the :DIFF Subsystem subsystem.

The commands in the :CHANnel subsystem, as well as a few other Infiniium 2026 commands, include a reference (:CHANnel{N}) that identifies the channel to which the command applies as shown in the following table. For example, you can display connection 1 channel 1 with any of the following four identical commands. (Notice channel identifier highlighted in red.)

:CHAN1:DISPlay ON;
:CHAN1_1:DISPlay ON;
:CHANnel1:DISPlay ON;
:CHANnel1_1:DISPlay ON;
