setting. Note that as the source list parameter is the last specified parameter
you do not have to specify DEF. The measurement is carried out on the current
window.
Using the CONFigure Command
When you execute this command, the power sensor presets the optimum
settings for the requested configuration (like the MEASure? query). However,
the measurement is not automatically started and you can change
measurement parameters before making measurements. This allows you to
change the power sensor’s configuration from the preset conditions. The
power sensor offers a variety of low- level commands in the SENSe, CALCulate,
and TRIGger subsystems. For example, if you want to change the averaging
use the [SENSe[1]]:AVERage:COUNt command.
Use the INITiate or READ? query to initiate the measurement.
Using READ?
CONFigure does not take the measurement. One method of obtaining a result
is to use the READ? query. The READ? query takes the measurement using the
parameters set by the CONFigure command then sends the reading to the
output buffer. Using the READ? query obtains new data.
Using INITiate and FETCh?
CONFigure does not take the measurement. One method of obtaining the
result is to use the INITiate and FETCh? commands. The INITiate
command causes the measurement to be taken. The FETCh? query retrieves a
reading when the measurement is complete, and sends the reading to the
output buffer. FETCh? can be used to display the measurement results in a
number of different formats without taking fresh data for each measurement.
