Query Measurement, 26THE CPL Protocol | Fluke PM3370B specs

6 - 26THE CPL PROTOCOL

QUERY MEASUREMENT

QM

Purpose:

To obtain measurement data from an oscilloscope.

If the V (Value) parameter is specified, one measured value will be returned.

If the L (Logging) parameter is specified, an infinite number of measured values will be returned. Cancelling is possible by sending the ASCII character ESC.

If no V or L parameter is specified, one measured value is returned, preceded by its type, and concluded by its suffix.

Note: If averaging is on, the values will be averaged over the number of average counts.

Command:

"QM"

n

"L"
"V"	CR

"V"	only the numerical value of the measurement result is returned
"L"	the numerical values of an infinite number of measurement
	results is returned; cancelling is possible by sending ASCII
	character ESC (= 27 decimal)

ndecimal number, specifying the type of measurement to perform (see table on next page)
