Description

Enables and disables the precision timebase of an 86107A or 86108A/B module. Enabling the precision timebase also sets the time reference. Disabling the precision timebase invalidates the time reference. For 86108A modules, the module slot number to identify the precision timebase is always 1. For the 86107A, the module slot identification number is either 1 or 3.

Use of an *OPC? query to pause program execution while waiting for this command to execute.

Requires an 86107A Precision Timebase Module or an 86108A/B Precision Waveform Analyzer module.
