CONFigure:TOTalize:CONTinuous
Syntax
CONFigure:TOTalize:CONTinuous [<channel>]
Description
This command sets all measurement parameters and trigger parameters to default values for a con-
tinuous totalize measurement.
Parameters
Name Type Range of Values Default Value
<channel> Expression (@1) | (@2) (@1)
Remarks
l The totalize count can be read at any time using the SENSe:TOTalize:DATA? command.
l The input channel is configured to use the current input threshold voltage and slope (see INPut:LEVel
and INPut:SLOPe) with auto-leveling disabled.
l The gate source (see SENSe:TOTalize:GATE:SOURce) is set to TIME and the gate time (see SENSe:TOTal-
ize:GATE:TIME) is set to infinity.
l Use INITiate[:IMMediate] to start the measurement.
l Use ABORt or a device clear to terminate the measurement.
l Because ABORt or a device clear must be used to terminate the measurement, only one measurement
will be made for each INITiate:IMMediate command. The SAMPle:COUNt and TRIGger:COUNt settings
are ignored when making a continuous totalize measurement. Additionally, the smoothing (moving
average) filter and statistics computation are disabled (CALCulate1:SMOothing:STATe and CALCu-
late1:AVERage:STATe set to off), since they require more than one reading to be useful.
Examples
The following example configures the instrument for continuous totalize measurements on channel 2
using default parameters, the totalize is started, and then, after 1 second, terminates the measurement
and transfers the count to the instrument output buffer.
