Command Syntax

:TRIGger:PLENgth  <bits>

<bits> is an int.

Query Syntax

:TRIGger:PLENgth?

Description

Enters the length of the test pattern in symbols, which is used in pattern-lock trigger mode. You must first disable automatic pattern-length detection (:TRIGger:PLENgth:AUTodetect OFF) before manually entering the pattern length. The command query returns the pattern length setting in symbols regardless of whether automatic detection is on or off.
