To return both values of either a voltage or current measurement:
Front Panel:
SCPI Command:
Select the Meter key.
Measure the output voltage or
current:
MEAS:VOLT? (@1,2)
Then Fetch the other parameter:
You can use the measurement trigger system to synchronize the
acquisition of measurements with a bus trigger, a transient trigger from
another channel, or an external trigger signal. Then use FETCh
commands to return voltage or current information from the acquired
data. Briefly, to make a triggered measurement:
1. Select the trigger source.
2. Initiate the trigger system.
3. Trigger the measurement.
4. Delay the measurement if desired.
5. Fetch the measurement.
The following figure illustrates the measurement trigger model.
