:READ?

Read one Result

PM6680B/81/85

The read function performs new measurements and reads out a measuring result without reprogramming the counter. Using the :READ? query in conjunction with the :CONFigure command gives you a measure capability where you can fine tune the measurement.

If the counter is set up to do an array of measurements, :READ? makes all the measurements in the array, stores the results in the output buffer, and fetches the first measuring result. Use FETCh? to fetch other measuring results from the out- put buffer. The :READ? query is identical to :ABORt;:INITiate;:FETCh?

Returned format: <data>￿

The format of the returned data is determined by the format commands :FORMat and FORMat:FIXed.

Example:

SEND￿ :CONF:FREQ;:INP:FILT ￿ ON;:READ?

This example configures the counter to make a standard frequency measurement with the 100 kHz filter on. The counter is triggered, and data from the measure- ment are read out with the :READ? query.

SEND￿ :READ?

This makes a new measurement and fetches the result without changing the pro- gramming of the counter.

Type of command: Aborts all previous measurement commands if *WAI is not used.

Complies to standards: SCPI 1991.0, confirmed.
