MEASure Group of Commands

Fetch Commands

:FETCh:<measurement>[n]?

This command puts valid data into the output buffer, but does not initiate data acquisition. Use the INITiate[:IMMediate] command to acquire data before you use the FETCh command. You can only fetch results from the measurement that is currently selected.

:FETCh <meas>? will return valid data only when the measurement is in one of the following states:

idle initiated paused

If the optional [n] value is not included, or is set to 1, the scalar measurement results will be returned. If the [n] value is set to a value other than 1, the selected trace data results will be returned. See each command for details of what types of scalar results or trace data results are available.

Measure Commands

:MEASure:<measurement>[n]?

MEASure commands stop the present measurement and set up the instrument for the specified measurement using the factory default values. Other SCPI communication is blocked until the measurement is complete. After the data is valid, the scalar result is returned for the specified measurement. These are the settings and units that conform to the measurement specific standard.

•Stops the current measurement and sets up the instrument for the specified measurement using the factory defaults

•Initiates the data acquisition for the measurement

•Blocks other SCPI communication, waiting until the measurement is complete before returning results.

•Turns the averaging function on and sets the number of averages to the default number of averages for the measurement; typically, this is 10.

•After the data is valid it returns the scalar results, or the trace data, for the specified measurement.

If the optional [n] value is not included, or is set to 1, the scalar measurement results will be returned. If the [n] value is set to a value other than 1, the selected trace data results will be returned. See each command for details of what types of scalar results or trace data results are available.

If you need to change some of the measurement parameters from the factory default settings you can set up the measurement with the CONFigure command. Use the commands in the SENSe:<measurement> and CALCulate:<measurement> subsystems to change the settings. Then you can use the READ? command, or the INITiate and FETCh? commands, to initiate the measurement and query the results. See Figure 5-1.
