Section 16: SCPI Command Reference Model 6482 Dual-Channel Picoammeter / Voltage Source Reference Manual
Select timestamp format
FORMat <name>
:TRACe:TSTamp:FORMat <name>Select timestamp format
Parameters <name> = ABSolute Reference to first buffer reading
DELTa Time between buffer readings
Query :FORMat? Query timestamp format
Description This command is used to select the timestamp format for buffer readings. With
ABSolute selected, each timestamp is referenced to the first reading stored in the
buffer. With DELTa selected, timestamps provide the time between each buffer
reading.
Trigger subsystem
The Trigger subsystem is made up of a series of commands and subsystems to configure the
Trigger Model. These commands and subsystems are summarized in Table 16-10.
NOTE See Section 8 for more details on triggering and the trigger model.
Initiate source/measure cycle
INITiate
:INITiate[:IMMediate] Take Model 6482 out of idle state
Description This command is used to initiate source and measure operation by taking the
Model 6482 out of idle. The :READ? and :MEASure? commands also perform an
initiation.
Command processing will halt until the trigger model returns to the idle state, with
the following exceptions:
• ABORt
•SDC
• DCL
•IFC
• SYSTem:PRESet, *RST, or *RCL
• *TRG or GET with TRIG:SOUR BUS
If any other command is sent after an INIT, only SDC, IFC, and DCL will work.
Abort source/measure cycle
ABORt
:ABORt Abort operation
Description When this action command is sent, the Model 6482 aborts operation and returns
to the idle state.
A faster way to return to idle is to use the DCL or SDC command.
