MEASurement

Function

In addition to the subsystems of the in- strument model, which controls the in-

strument functions, SCPI has signal-oriented functions to obtain mea- surement results. This group of MEASure functions has a different level of compati- bility and flexibility. The parameters used with commands from the MEASure group describe the signal you are going to measure. This means that the MEASure functions give compatibility between in- struments, since you don’t need to know

anything about the instrument you are us- ing. See Figure 5-3.

￿MEASure?

This is the most simple command to use, but it does not offer much flexibility. The MEASure? query lets the counter config- ure itself for an optimal measurement, start the data acquisition, and return the result.

￿CONFigure; READ?

The CONFigure command makes the counter choose an optimal setting for the specified measurement. CONFigure may cause any device setting to change.
