[:SENSe] (Cont.)

 

New

Subtree. Queries the characteristics of the “trigger

:EVENt3

 

 

 

 

event”for channel 3 input.

:LEVel

 

New

Subtree.

[:ABSolute]?

 

New

Query only. Returns the channel 3 input trigger level.

:SLOPe?

 

New

Query only. Returns the edge of the channel 3 input

 

 

 

that will be considered an event.

:FREQuency

 

Std

Subtree. Controls the frequency, frequency ratio, and

 

 

 

period measuring capabilities of the instrument.

:ARM

 

New

Subtree. Synchronizes the frequency start and stop

 

 

 

arm with events.

[:STARt]

 

New

Subtree.

:SLOPe

POSitive NEGative

New

Sets the slope of the external start arm signal used in

 

 

 

external arming frequency, frequency ratio, and

 

 

 

period measurements. Only applies when

 

 

 

[:SENS]:FREQ:ARM[:STAR]:SOUR EXT is selected.

:SOURce

IMMediate EXTernal

New

Sets the start arm for frequency, frequency ratio, and

 

 

 

period measurements.

:STOP

 

New

Subtree.

:DIGits

<numeric_value>

New

Sets the resolution in terms of digits used in arming

 

 

 

frequency, frequency ratio, and period

 

 

 

measurements. Only applies when

 

 

 

[:SENS]:FREQ:ARM:STOP:SOUR DIG is selected.

:SLOPe

POSitive NEGative

New

Sets the slope of the external stop arm signal used in

 

 

 

external arming frequency, frequency ratio, and

 

 

 

period measurements. Only applies when

 

 

 

[:SENS]:FREQ:ARM:STOP:SOUR EXT is selected.

:SOURce

IMMediate EXTernal

New

Sets the stop arm for frequency, frequency ratio, and

 

 

period measurements.

:TIMer

TIMer DIGits

New

Sets the gate time used in arming frequency,

 

<numeric_value> [S]

 

frequency ratio, and period measurements. Only

 

 

 

applies when [:SENS]:FREQ:ARM:STOP:SOUR TIM

 

 

 

is selected.

:EXPected[123]

 

New

Specifies the approximate frequency of a signal you

 

<numeric_value> [HZ]

 

expect to measure at channel 1, 2, or 3.

:AUTO

 

New

Configures Counter to perform a pre-measurement

 

ON

 

step to automatically determine the approximate

 

 

 

frequency of the measurement signal(s).
