MEASure:ARRay:TSTamp?
Syntax
MEASure:ARRay:TSTamp? [(<count>) [,<channel>]]
Description
This query sets all measurement parameters and trigger parameters to default values for timestamp meas-
urements at a nominal 1MHz timestamp rate, then immediately triggers a measurement. The results are
sent directly to the instrument output buffer. The <count> parameter specifies how many timestamps are
to be returned.
Parameters
Name Type Range of Values Default Value
<count> numeric 1 to 1,000,000
MIN = 1
MAX = 1,000,000
100
<channel(s)> Expression(s) (@1) | (@2) | (@3) (@1)
Remarks
l Available only on the Keysight 53230A.
l Note the parentheses around the <count> parameter. These are required by the SCPI standard.
l For channel 1 or 2, the input channel is configured for auto-leveling at 50% with a positive slope.
Because this command enables auto-leveling if channel 1 or 2 is selected, it should not
be used if the input frequency is lower than the minimum input signal frequency for
auto-leveling (see SYSTem:ALEVel:FREQuency command). You should use CONFig-
ure:ARRay:TSTamp, INPut:LEVel{1|2}, and READ? instead of
MEASure:ARRay:TSTamp?.
l SAMPle:COUNt is set to the value of <count>.
l The trigger count setting (TRIGger:COUNt) is ignored when making timestamp measurements. Only
one trigger will be accepted for each READ? or INITiate[:IMMediate] command.
l The SENSe:GATE subsystem is not used when making timestamp measurements. The measurements
will start immediately after a trigger and trigger delay.
Return Format
The query returns the prescaler value followed by a comma, followed by the measurements. The pres-
caler value is always returned in the format: +100. The format of the measurements is controlled by the
FORMat Subsystem commands.
