Descriptions of the Measurement Functions— <function> (Cont.)

:MEASure[:SCALar][:VOLTage]:PERiod? [<expected_value>[,<resolution>]][, (@1)(@2)(@3)]

Measures Period.

The measurement arming mode is set to “digits.” The Counter uses the <expected_value> and <resolution> parameters to configure the number of digits of resolution arming setting.

The Channel 1 or Channel 2 trigger settings are coupled so that the measurement channel has auto-trigger enabled at 50% with a positive slope.

Ch1, Ch2 <expected_value>

range:	4.4 ns to 10.0 sec
resolution:	<expected value> should be within 10% of input period
	for optimum arming configuration
default:	100 ns
Ch1, Ch2 <resolution>
description:	value indicates decade corresponding to least significant
	digit of the result
range:	1E-23 to 1E-2 sec
	value which indicates 3 to 15 digits of resolution for the
	specified <expected value>
resolution:	<resolution> should use a mantissa of 1.0 and be an even
	power of 10
default:	value which indicates 4 digits of resolution for the
	specified <expected_value>
