MEASure?
Example
The following program segment shows how to use the MEASure?
command to make a measurement. This example configures the meter for
voltage measurements on channel 1 using autoranging on the input
signal, automatically places the meter in the “wait-for-trigger” state,
internally triggers the meter to take one reading, and then sends the
reading to the output buffer.
MEAS:VOLT:DC? AUTO,MIN,(@FRONt1)
bus enter statement
This is the simplest way to take a reading. However, you do not have any
flexibility with MEASure? to set the trigger count, sample count, trigger
delay, etc. All measurement parameters except function, range, and
resolution are preset for you automatically (see the table on page 127).
CONFigure
Example 1
The following program segment shows how to use the READ? command
with CONFigure to make an externally-triggered measurement. The
program configures the meter for dc voltage measurements. CONFigure
does not place the meter in the “wait-for-trigger” state. The READ?
command places the meter in the “wait-for-trigger” state, takes a reading
when the Ext Trig terminal is pulsed, and sends the reading to the
output buffer.
