5 Commands by Subsystem
Introduction to
:MEASure
Commands
The commands in the MEASure subsystem are used to make parametric
measurements on displayed waveforms.
Measurement Setup
To make a measurement, the portion of the waveform required for that
measurement must be displayed on the oscilloscope screen.
Measurement Error
If a measurement cannot be made (typically because the proper portion of
the waveform is not displayed), the value +9.9E+37 is returned for that
measurement.
Making Measurements
If more than one waveform, edge, or pulse is displayed, time
measurements are made on the portion of the displayed waveform closest
to the trigger reference (left, center, or right).
