Reading Time Stamp Data
Reading Time Stamp Data
Time stamp function outputs a time data with a measurement result data. For
example of reading the time stamp data, see programs in the previous sections.
NOTE This function is not available for binary data output format (FMT 3 and 4).
This function is not available for the quasi-pulsed spot measurement (MM 9) and
the search measurement (MM 14 and 15).
To read the time data with the best resolution (100 μs), reset the time stamp
every 100 sec or less for the FMT 1, 2, or 5 data output format, or
every 1000 sec or less for the FMT 11, 12, 15, 21, 22, or 25 data output format.
Enter the MM command to define the measurement mode and enter the TSC
command to set the time stamp function ON. You can get the time data with the
measurement data. The time data is the time from when the time stamp is cleared
until the measurement is started.
The following commands returns the time data regardless of the TSC command
setting. The time data is the time from when the time stamp is cleared until the
following command is entered.
To clear the time stamp, enter the TSR command.
