:FETC?
Syntax :FETCh?
Description Reads out the measurement result. The target measurement to read out depends on the state
of the 4288A.
If overload is detected (that is, the measurement status is 1), the measured values of the
primary parameter and secondary parameter are 9.9E37 and the comparator sorting result
is 11.
The transfer format of data read out with this command conforms to the setup made with
the :FORM command. (Query only)
Query response {numeric 1},{numeric 2},{numeric 3},{numeric 4}<newline><^END>
Note that if the comparator function is disabled (OFF has been specified with the
:CALC:COMP command), only three data items, {numeric1}, {numeric2}, and
{numeric3}, are read out.
{numeric 1}, {numeric 2}, {numeric 3}, and {numeric 4} are as follows:
{numeric 1}: Measurement status (one of the integers between 0 and 2 listed below)
0: No error
1: Detection of overload (OVLD)
2: Detection of Low C
{numeric 2}: Measured value of the primary parameter
{numeric 3}: Measured value of the secondary parameter
{numeric 4}: Comparator sorting result (an integer between 0 and 11 listed below)
0: Sorted into OUT_OF_BINS.
1: Sorted into BIN1.
2: Sorted into BIN2.
3: Sorted into BIN3.
4: Sorted into BIN4.
5: Sorted into BIN5.
6: Sorted into BIN6.
7: Sorted into BIN7.
8: Sorted into BIN8.
9: Sorted into BIN9.
10: Sorted into AUX_BIN.
11: BIN_NA (sorting impossible)

• During measurement: Waits for end of the measurement and then reads out its result.
• Other states: Reads out the result of the immediately preceding measurement.
