Command Descriptions
TDS Family Oscilloscope Programmer Manual
2–103
In extended-acquisition-length mode, <NR1> ranges up to the extended
acquisition length as opposed to the waveform record length.
DATA:START 10
specifies that the waveform transfer will begin with data point 10.
DATA:START?
might return 214 as the first waveform data point that will be transferred.
DATa:STOP
Sets or queries the last data point that will be transferred when using the
CURVe? query. This allows the transfer of partial waveforms to the controller.
When using the CURVe command, the digitizing oscilloscope will stop reading
data when there is no more data to read or when the specified record length has
been reached so this command will be ignored.

<Space> <NR1>
<NR1> ranges from 1 to the record length, and is the last data point that will be
transferred. If <NR1> is greater than the record length then data will be transferred
up to the record length. If both DATa:STARt and DATa:STOP are greater than
the record length, an execution error will be executed.
If you always want to transfer complete waveforms, just set DATa:STARt to 1
and DATa:STOP to the maximum record length.
When DATa:STOP is less than DATa:STARt, the stop value will equal
DATa:STARt + (DATA:STARt – DATa:STOP). For example, if DATa:STARt =
30 and DATaSTOP = 20, then the range of data points for the waveform transfer
will equal 30 through 40.
