MEASure Group of Commands
This group includes commands used to make measurements and return results. The
different commands can be used to provide fine control of the overall measurement
process. Most measurements should be done in single measurement mode, rather
than doing the measurement continuously.
If you need to change some of the measurement parameters from the factory
default settings, set up the measurement with the CONFigure command. Use the
commands in the [:SENSe] subsystem to change the settings. Then use the
:READ? command, or the :INITiate and :FETCh? commands to initiate the
measurement and query the results.
Each measurement sets the instrument state that is appropriate for that
measurement. Other commands are available for each
Mode to allow changing
settings such as view and limits, etc. Refer to the following command subsystems:
SENSe:<measurement>
SENSe:CHANnel
SENSe:CORRection
SENSe:FREQuency
SENSe:POWer
CALCulate:<measurement>
CALCulate:CLIMits/DATA
DISPlay:<measurement>
TRIGger
Configure Commands
:CONFigure:<measurement>
This command stops the current measurement and sets up the instrument for the
specified measurement using the factory default instrument settings. It does not
initiate the taking of measurement data. This command also turns the averaging
function on and sets the number of averages to 10 for all measurements.
The query :CONFigure? returns the current measurement name in quotes.
The CONFigure? query returns the current measurement name.
