Query Response

Comments

If the instrument state has changed through commands other than :CONFigure or :MEASure query, the instrument will not track these changes, and the query response will not reflect these changes.

∙ A string of the form: “<function> <parameters>[,<source_list>] ”, omitting the leading colon from the <function>.

∙The Rise Time, Fall Time, and Duty Cycle functions each have two ways of being specified. This query response will use RTIM, FTIM, or DCYC to indicate these functions.

∙The response is unaffected by *RST, recall, and [:SENS]:FUNC.

∙At power-on, this query generates an error and returns an empty string.

∙Refer to the sub-section in this section titled “Descriptions of Measurement Functions” for descriptions of each measurement function.
