:MEASure:PWIDth

(see page 530)

Command Syntax :MEASure:PWIDth [<source>]

<source> ::= {CHANnel<n> FUNCtion MATH}

<n> ::= {1 2 3 4} for the four channel oscilloscope models <n> ::= {1 2} for the two channel oscilloscope models

The :MEASure:PWIDth command installs a screen measurement and starts the positive pulse width measurement. If the optional source parameter is specified, the current source is modified.

N O T E This command is not available if the source is FFT (Fast Fourier Transform).

Query Syntax :MEASure:PWIDth? [<source>]

The :MEASure:PWIDth? query measures and outputs the width of the displayed positive pulse closest to the trigger reference. Pulse width is measured at the midpoint of the upper and lower thresholds.

IF the edge on the screen closest to the trigger is falling:

THEN width = (time at trailing falling edge - time at leading rising edge)

ELSE width = (time at leading falling edge - time at leading rising edge)

Return Format <value><NL>

<value> ::= width of positive pulse in seconds in NR3 format
