set

Change property values for scope objects

Syntax

MATLAB command line

• set(scope_object_vector)
  set(scope_object_vector, property_name1, property_value1, 
  property_name2, property_value2, . . .)
  scope_object_vector.set('property_name1', property_value1, 
  ..)
  set(scope_object, 'property_name', property_value, . . .) 
  

Arguments

scope_object	Name of a scope object, or a vector of scope objects.
'property_name'	Name of a scope object property. Always use quotation marks.
property_value	Value for a scope object property. Always use quotation marks for character strings; quotes are optional for numbers.

Description

Method for scope objects. Sets the properties of the scope object. Not all properties are user-writable

Properties must be entered in pairs, or using the alternate syntax, as one-dimensional cell arrays of the same size. This means they have to both be row vectors or both column vectors, and the corresponding values for properties in property_name_vector are stored in property_value_vector.

The function set typically does not return a value. However, if called with an explicit return argument, for example, a = set(target_object, property_name, property_value), it returns the value of the properties after the indicated settings have been made.

Examples

Get a list of writable properties for a scope object.

• sc1 = getscope(tg,1)
  set(sc1)
  xPC Scope Object:
      Writable Properties
  
      NumSamples          
      Decimation          
      TriggerMode   : [{FreeRun} | Software | Signal | Scope]
      TriggerSignal       
      TriggerLevel        
      TriggerSlope  : [{Either} | Rising | Falling]
      TriggerScope        
      Signals             
      Mode          : [Numerical | {Redraw} | Sliding | Rolling]
      YLimit              
      Grid        
  

The property value for the scope object sc1 is changed to on:

• sc1.set('grid', 'on') or set(sc1, 'grid', 'on')
