Command :SYSTem:MODE {EYE | OSCilloscope | TDR | JITTer}
This command sets the system mode. Specifying Eye/Mask mode, turns off all active channels
except the lowest numbered channel.

mode is only available on 86100C mainframes with Option 100 or 200.

using this command turns on averaging for both TDR/TDT and Oscilloscope modes.
