Trigger
Remote Command
:TRIGger[:SEQuence]:FRAMe:OFFSet <time>
:TRIGger[:SEQuence]:FRAMe:OFFSet?
Example
TRIG:FRAM:OFFS 1.2 ms
Notes
The front panel interface (for example, the knob), and this command, adjust the accumulated
offset, which is shown on the active function display. However, the actual amount sent to the
hardware each time the offset is updated is the delta value, that is, the current accumulated
offset value minus the previous accumulated offset value. Note that the accumulated offset
value is essentially arbitrary; it represents the accumulated offset from the last time the offset
was zeroed (with the Reset Offset Display key).
Note that this command does not change the period of the trigger waveform. Note also that
Offset is used only when the sync source is set to OFF, otherwise delay is used, see section
.
An increase in the "offset" parameter, either from the knob or the SCPI adjust command, serves
to delay the timing of the trigger event.
Notes
When the SCPI command is sent the value shown on the key (and the Active Function, if this
happens to be the active function) is updated with the new value. However, the actual amount
sent to the hardware is the delta value, that is, the current accumulated offset value minus the
previous accumulated offset value.
The SCPI query simply returns the value currently showing on the key.
Dependencies
The invalid data indicator turns on when the offset is changed, until the next
sweep/measurement completes.
Couplings
The same offset is used in the Gate Source selection of the period timer.

Offset Adjust (Remote Command Only)
This remote command does not work at all like the related front panel keys. This command lets
you advance the phase of the frame trigger by the amount you specify.
It does not change the period of the trigger waveform. If the command is sent multiple times, it
advances the phase of the frame trigger an additional amount each time it is sent. Negative
numbers are permitted.
