10.3 Measurement Subsystem
This subsystem programs the measurement capability of the RP Series AC source. To
select the desired phase, use the INST:NSEL command before the measurement command.
Once selected, a phase selection remains in effect until the next INST:NSEL command.
Subsystem Syntax
:MEASure
:VOLTage? Returns the rms value of voltage
:CURRent? Returns the rms value of current
:AMPLitude
:MAX? Returns peak current
:RESet Reset the peak current measurements
:CREStfactor? Returns current crest factor
:RANGe Selects measurement range 0 = High, 1 = Low, 2 = AUTO
:POWer
[:REAL]? Returns real power in Watt
:APParent? Returns apparent power in VA
:PFACtor? Returns power factor
MEASure:VOLTage?
This query returns the AC rms voltage being sourced at the output terminals. Note that the
output relay must be closed or no voltage will be present at the output terminals.
Query Syntax MEASure:VOLTage?
Parameters None
Examples MEAS:VOLT?
Returned Parameters <NR2>
Related Commands OUTP 0 1
MEASure:CURRent?
This query returns the rms value of the output AC current being sourced at the output
terminals. Note that the output relay must be closed to obtain current flow.
Query Syntax MEASure:CURRent?
Parameters None
Examples MEAS:CURR?
Returned Parameters <NR2>
