Positioning traces on a Tek 2014

I am programming an app to take average measurements on all four channels of a Tek 2014 O-scope every minute using LabView 8.5.1 with the control VI's for the 2014.  I can't find any way to position the traces vertically on the screen.  The init vi positions all traces at 0V and I want to position them at the bottom of the screen to get the highest resolution.  I have figured out how to set all other scope parameters I need.  I need to run this test continously for a few days.  Tek Signal Express spits an error and shuts down after several hours so I decided to do it in LabView myself.

 

PS

I am a novice with LabView.

Thanks

Do you actually want to change the scope or just the display of the waveforms on the LabVIEW front panel? Changing the graph in LabVIEW is trivial. You just turn off the Y autoscale and set the min to what you want.

Yes, I want to change the trace position on the scope itself.

It's so much easier to change the graph in LabVIEW and I would think that is what the user would be looking at.

 

Anyway, I think you want the offset command. Look in the scope manual to see if that will do what you want. If you find the command in the manual, you can do a search in the driver for the command.

Thanks for the help.  I found the command (CH:POS #) and did a VISA write.  Done!  Sorry for the newbie question.
