ZOOm:STATE
Turns Zoom mode on and off. When Zoom mode is on, the horizontal and
vertical position and scale commands affect the waveform display, not the
acquisition. This is the only way to position and scale math and reference
waveforms. This command is equivalent to turning Zoom on and off in the
Zoom side menu.

PREView
OFF turns Zoom mode off.
ON turns Zoom mode on. When InstaVu is in use, the state value becomes a
requested value, to be restored when InstaVu is switched off. Do not use this
condition if InstaVu is on. InstaVu overrides the zoom on state.
PREView (not on TDS 510A) sets ZOOM:STATE to preview. Also, it causes the
oscilloscope to display both the ZOOM:STATE OFF and ZOOM:STATE ON
traces simultaneously in dual, half-height graticules. Do not use this condition if
InstaVu is on. InstaVu overrides the zoom preview state.
In extended-acquisition-length mode, entering the zoom preview state causes
fit-to-screen to be on. If the oscilloscope exits the extended-acquisition-length
mode or the zoom preview state, the fit-to-screen mode returns back to its prior
setting.
ZOOM:STATE ON
enables the Zoom feature.
ZOOM:STATE?
returns OFF, PREVIEW, or ON depending on the state of Zoom mode.
