Table to show. Choose from:
OFF | MARKer | LIMit | SEGMent

Examples

DISP:WIND:TABLe SEGM

DISPlay:WINDow:TABLe?

Default

OFF

(Read-Write) Sets data in the window title area. The title is turned ON and OFF with DISP:WIND:TITL:STAT OFF. 

Parameters

<wnum>

Any existing window number. If unspecified, value is set to 1.

<string>

Title to be displayed. Any characters, enclosed with quotes. If the title string exceeds 50 characters, an error will be generated and the title not accepted. Newer entries replace (not append) older entries.

Examples

DISP:WIND:TITL:DATA 'hello'
display:window2:title:data 'hello'

Query Syntax

DISPlay:WINDow<wnum>:TITLe:DATA?

Return Type

String

Default

Not Applicable

(Read-Write) Turns display of the title string ON or OFF.  When OFF, the string remains, ready to be re-displayed when turned back ON.

Parameters

<wnum>

Any existing window number. If unspecified, value is set to 1

<bool>

ON or 1 - Turns the title string ON.
OFF or 0 - Turns the title string OFF.

Examples

DISP:WIND:TITL ON
Display:window1:title:state off

Query Syntax

DISPlay:WINDow<wnum>:TITLe[:STATe]?

Return Type

Boolean

Default

ON

(Write-only) Deletes the specified trace from the specified window. The measurement parameter associated with the trace is not deleted.

Parameters

<wnum>

Any existing window number. If unspecified, value is set to 1.

<tnum>

The number of the trace to be deleted; if unspecified, value is set to 1.

Note: This is NOT the trace number of the channel which appears as the Tr annotation on the Trace Status display. This <tnum> is the trace number within the specified window, and is used ONLY for remote programs.

Examples

DISP:WIND:TRAC:DEL
display:window2:trace2:delete

Default

Not Applicable

(Write-only) Creates a new trace <tnum> and associates (feeds) a measurement <name> to the specified window<wnum>. This command should be executed immediately after creating a new measurement with CALC:PAR:DEF<name>,<parameter>.

To feed the same measurement to multiple traces, create another measurement with the same <parameter>, but different <name>, using the CALC:PAR:DEF command. The analyzer will collect the data only once.

Parameters

<wnum>

Any existing window number. If unspecified, value is set to 1.

<tnum>

Trace number to be created. Choose any Integer between 1 and the VNA maximum number of traces per window allowed.

Note: This is NOT the trace number of the channel which appears as the Tr annotation on the Trace Status display. This <tnum> is the trace number within the specified window, and is used ONLY for remote programs.

<name>

Name of the measurement that was defined with CALC:PAR:DEF<name>,<parameter>

Examples

DISP:WIND:TRAC:FEED 'test'
display:window2:trace2:feed:name 'test'

Default

"CH1_S11"

(Read-Write) Sets and returns the grid line type (solid | dotted) for all open windows. Grid is returned to solid when the VNA is Preset. Learn more.

Parameters

<value>

Line type. Choose from:

SOLid - Solid lines

DOTTed - Dotted lines

Examples

DISP:WIND:TRAC:GREAT:GRID:LTYPE SOL
display:window:trace:graticule:grid:ltype dotted

Query Syntax

DISPlay:WINDow:TRACe:GRATicule:GRID:LTYPE?

Return Type

Character

Default

SOLID

(Read-Write) Sets and returns the method of scale coupling. Learn more about Scale coupling.

Parameters

<char>

OFF - NO scale coupling for any windows.

WINDow - Scale settings are coupled for traces in each window.

ALL - Scale settings are coupled for traces in ALL selected windows.

Enable the selected windows using DISP:WIND:TRAC:Y:COUP ON

Examples

DISP:WIND:TRAC:Y:COUP:METH ALL

Display:window2:trace:y:scale:method window

Query Syntax

DISPlay:WINDow:TRACe:Y[:SCALe]:COUPle:METHod?

Return Type

Character

Default

OFF

(Read-Write) Enables and disables scale coupling for the specified window. Learn more about Scale coupling.

Parameters

<wnum>

Any existing window number. If unspecified, value is set to 1

Use Disp:Cat? to read the existing window numbers.

<bool>

ON or 1 - Scale coupling enabled for specified window.

OFF or 0 - Scale coupling disabled for specified window.

Examples

DISP:WIND:TRAC:Y:COUP ON

Display:window2:trace:y:scale:couple:state off

Query Syntax

DISPlay:WINDow<wnum>:TRACe:Y[:SCALe]:COUPle[:STATe]?

Return Type

Boolean

Default

ON or 1

(Read-Write) Sets or returns the number of divisions in all the graphs, for the selected channel

Parameters

<wnum>

Any existing window number. If unspecified, value is set to 1

Use Disp:Cat? to read the existing window numbers.

<bool>

ON or 1 - Scale coupling enabled for specified window.

OFF or 0 - Scale coupling disabled for specified window.

<num>

Number of divisions is between 4 to 30.

Units / division value. The range of acceptable values is dependent on format and domain.

Note: This command will accept MIN or MAX instead of a numeric parameter. See SCPI Syntax for more information.

Examples

DISP:WIND:Y:DIV 12

Display:window2:y:scale:divisions 12

Query Syntax

DISPlay:WINDow<wnum>:Y[:SCALe]:DIVisions?

Return Type

Boolean

Default

10

(Write-only) Scales ALL of the traces to fit in the same window. This is equivalent to "Autoscale All" from the front panel.

Autoscale behaves differently when scale coupling is enabled. How it behaves depends on the scale coupling method. Learn more.

Autoscale is performed only when the command is sent; it does NOT keep the trace autoscaled indefinitely.

See Also, DISPlay:WINDow:TRACe:Y:AUTO which Autoscales only the specified trace.

Parameters

<wnum>

Any existing window number. If unspecified, value is set to 1.

Use Disp:Cat? to read the existing window numbers.
