Measurement Subsystem (Arrays)

This subsystem lets you retrieve arrays containing measurements data. Only current and voltage measurements are stored in an array. Two measurement commands are available: MEASure and FETCh. MEASure triggers the acquisition of new data before returning the readings from the array. FETCh returns previously acquired data from the array.

Individual outputs of a three-phase source are specified by the setting of INSTrument:NSELect.

Subsystem Syntax

MEASure FETCh
:ARRay
:CURRent
[:DC]?	Returns the digitized instantaneous current
:HARMonic
[:AMPLitude]?	Returns amplitudes of the first 50 harmonics
:PHASe?	Returns phase angles of the first 50 harmonics
:NEUTral
[:DC]?	Returns the neutral digitized instantaneous current (3-phase only)
:HARMonic

[:AMPLitude]? Returns neutral current harmonic amplitude

:PHASe?	Returns neutral current harmonic phase
:VOLTage
[:DC]?	Returns the digitized instantaneous voltage
:HARMonic
[:AMPLitude]?	Returns amplitudes of the first 50 harmonics
:PHASe?	Returns phase angles of the first 50 harmonics

MEASure:ARRay:CURRent?

FETCh:ARRay:CURRent?

Phase Selectable

These queries return an array containing the instantaneous output current in amperes. The output voltage and current are digitized whenever a measure command is given or whenever an acquire trigger occurs. If digitization is caused by a measure command, the time interval between samples is determined by the output frequency. For frequencies greater than 45Hz, the time interval is 25 microseconds. If digitization is caused by an acquire trigger, the time interval is set by SENSe:SWEep:TINTerval, and the position of the trigger relative to the beginning of the data buffer is determined by SENSe:SWEep:OFFSet:POINts.
