4.6 Memory Function
68
The Memory function is only available via communication commands.
When the Memory function is enabled, measurement values are stored in the
instrument’s internal memory according to trigger input sequence (up to 400 val-
ues). Stored data can be downloaded later upon command.
When measuring using a scanner to switch multiple test objects, switching time
can be quite long if measurement values are downloaded to the PC after each
measurement. Test cycle time can be minimized by using this function to store
measurement values internally until all channel measurements are finished, at
which time the stored values are downloaded together during the next idle
period.
4.6 Memory Function
1
Select the RS-232C, LAN, or GP-IB interface.
See " Selecting the Interface" (p.105).
2
Send the command to enable the Memory function.
:MEMory:STATe ON
3
The MEM indicator lights.
4
Measurement values are stored.
When a trigger is applied by the TRIG key, TRIG EXT I/O input signal or
TRG command, the MEM indicator blinks once and the measured value is
stored.
If an external trigger source is selected, one measurement is stored after
each trigger event. In the internal triggering case, the first measurement val-
ue after triggering is stored. Apply a trigger as many times as is necessary.
