6: SCPI command reference Model 2461 Interactive SourceMeter® Instrument
6-6 2461-901-01 A/November 2015
The output of :MEASure? is affected by the data format selected by :FORMat[:DATA]. If you set
FORMat[:DATA] to REAL or SREAL, you will have fewer options for buffer elements. The only buffer
elements available are READing, RELative, SOURce, and EXTRa. If you request a buffer element
that is not permitted for the selected data format, the instrument generates the error 1133, "Parameter
4, Syntax error, expected valid name parameters."
The STATus buffer element returns status values for the readings in the buffer. The status values are
floating-point numbers that encode the status value. Refer to the following table for values.
Buffer status bits for sense measurements
Bit (hex) Name Decimal Description
Measure status questionable
A/D converter from which reading originated; for the
Model 2461, this will always be 0 (main) or 2 (digitizer)
Measure terminal, front is 1, rear is 0
Measure status limit 2 low
Measure status limit 2 high
Measure status limit 1 low
Measure status limit 1 high
Example
TRACe:MAKE "voltMeasBuffer", 10000
MEAS:VOLT? "voltMeasBuffer", FORM, DATE, READ
Create a buffer named voltMeasBuffer. Make a voltage measurement and store it in the buffer
voltMeasBuffer and return the formatted reading, the date, and the reading elements from the buffer.
Example output:
-00.0024 mV,05/16/2014,-2.384862E-06
