command: :SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:PARameter:LOGGing
syntax: :SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:PARameter:LOGGing<wsp><data points>,
<averaging time>[NS|US|MS|S]
description: Sets the number of data points and the averaging time for the logging data acquisition function.
parameters: Data Points:
Averaging time:
Data Points is the number of samples that are recorded before the logging mode is completed.
Data Points is an integer value.
Averaging time is a time value in seconds.
There is no time delay between averaging time periods. Use
:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:PARameter:STABility? on page 100 if
you want to use delayed measurement.
If you specify no units for the averaging time value in your command, seconds are used as the default.
See
:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:STATe on page 104 for information on starting/stopping a data
acquisition function.
See :SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:RESult? on page 100 for information on accessing the results of a
data acquisition function.
See Table 8 on page -208 for information on how triggering affects data acquisition functions.
