Trace Display State On/Off
Key Path Trace/Detector
Remote Command :TRACe[1]|2|...6:DISPlay[:STATe] ON|OFF|0|1
:TRACe[1]|2|...6:DISPlay[:STATe]?
Example TRAC2:DISP,1 Makes trace 2 visible
TRAC3:DISP,0 Blanks trace 3
Couplings Whenever you set Update to On for any trace, the Display is set to On for that trace.
Preset 1|0|0|0|0|0 (On for Trace 1; Off for 2–6)

Compatibility SCPI :TRACe:MODE BLANk
sets :TRACe:UPDate OFF, :TRACe:DISPlay OFF, for the selected trace. In earlier analyzers, View
and Blank were trace modes, set by TRACe:MODE command. In the X-Series, View and Blank
are two of the states set by the :TRACe:UPDate and :TRACe:DISPlay commands. The
TRACe:MODE BLANk command will yield its new equivalent, which is Update=Off, Display=Off
Initial S/W Revision Prior to A.02.00
More Information
When a trace becomes inactive, the following things happen:
•
Any update from the SENSe system (detectors) immediately stops (does not wait for end of
sweep)
•
the trace is displayed at half intensity (as long as it stays inactive)
Inactive traces display across the entire X Axis of the instrument. Their horizontal placement
does not change even if X Axis settings subsequently are changed, although Y-axis settings will
affect the vertical placement of data.
In most cases, inactive traces are static and unchanging; however, there are cases when an
inactive trace will update, specifically:
•
if data is written to that trace from remote
•
if trace data is loaded from mass storage
•
if the trace is the target of a Copy or participant in an Exchange
•
if the trace is cleared using the Clear Trace function (below)
When a trace becomes active (Update=On), the trace is cleared, the average count is reset, and a
new sweep is initiated.
