Syntax
:READ?
data
NR3 numerical data
Function
Executes INITiate[:IMMediate];FETCh?. Specifically, shifts the trigger system from the Idle state
to the Trigger Wait state and reads the measurement value.
Note
If INITIATE:CONTINUOUS 1 is issued, an execution error is issued. If the trigger system is in
the Trigger Wait state, an execution error is issued.
The system does not execute the following command until after measurement is completed.
Response
syntax
Headers: ON READ data
Headers: OFF data
Example
Headers: ON
Transmission :READ?
Response READ 5.327300E-01

Transmission :READ?
Response 5.327300E-01
The current measurement value is 0.53273. (The function and unit will vary,
depending on the type of measurement.)
Trigger source Operation
IMMediate
Triggers and reads the measurement value.
EXTernal
Triggers through the TRG terminal (external
control terminal), or when
M.TRIG
is pressed,
and reads the measurement value.
Syntax
:TRIGger:DELay data
data
NRf numerical data
0 to 9.999 (unit: s)
Function
Specifies the delay time.
Note
Inactive when Auto Delay is ON (:TRIGGER:DELAY:AUTO 1).
Example
Transmission :TRIG:DEL 0.5
:TRIG:DEL:AUTO 0
Sets the trigger delay to 0.5 s and turns off Auto Delay.
