Measurement Commands

Measurement commands consist of measure and sense commands.

Measure commands measure the output voltage or current. Measurements are performed by digitizing the instantaneous output voltage or current for a defined number of samples and sample interval, storing the results in a buffer, and calculating the measured result. Two types of measurement commands are available: MEASure and FETCh. MEASure triggers the acquisition of new data before returning the reading; FETCh returns a reading computed from previously acquired data. If you take a voltage measurement, you can fetch only voltage data.

Use MEASure when the measurement does not need to be synchronized with any other event.

Use FETCh when it is important that the measurement be synchronized with either a trigger or with a particular part of the output waveform.

Sense commands control the current measurement range, the bandwidth detector of the , and the data acquisition sequence.

MEASure:ARRay:CURRent?

FETCh:ARRay:CURRent?

Agilent 66312A, 66332A Only

These queries return an array containing the instantaneous output current in amperes. The output voltage or output current are digitized whenever a measure command is given or whenever an acquire trigger occurs. The time interval is set by SENSe:SWEep:TINTerval. The position of the trigger relative to the beginning of the data buffer is determined by SENSe:SWEep:OFFSet. The number of points returned is set by SENSe:SWEep:POINts.
