Keysight 53230A - Measure:period

MEASure:PERiod?
Syntax
MEASure:PERiod? [{<expected> | MINimum | MAXimum | DEFault} [,{<resolution> | MINimum |
MAXimum | DEFault}]] [,<channel>]
Description
This query sets all measurement parameters and trigger parameters default values for average period
measurements, then immediately triggers a measurement. The results are sent directly to the instrument
output buffer.
Parameters
Name Type Range of Values Default Value
<expected> Numeric Channels 1 & 2:
2.8 nsec to 10 sec
MIN = 2.8 nsec
MAX = 10 sec
Channel 3:
Option 106:
160 pS to 10 nS
MIN = 160 pS
MAX = 10 nS
Option 115:
66 pS to 3.33 nS
MIN = 66 pS
MAX = 3.33 nS
Channels 1 & 2:
100 nsec
Channel 3:
2 pS
<resolution> Numeric 1.0E-15 * <expected> to
1.0E-5* <expected>
MIN = 1.0E-15 * <expected>
MAX = 1.0E-5 * <expected>
Value corresponding to
.1 second gate time
<channel> Expression (@1) | (@2) | (@3) (@1)
Remarks
l This query makes an averaging measurement. To make a single-period measurement, use
MEASure:SPERiod?.
l If <expected> corresponds to a frequency greater than the minimum input signal frequency for auto-lev-
eling (see SYSTem:ALEVel:FREQuency command), the input channel is configured for auto-leveling at
50% with a positive slope. Otherwise, the input channel is configured to use the currently programmed
input threshold voltage and slope (see INPut:LEVel and INPut:SLOPe) with auto-leveling disabled.
l
As defined in the SCPI standard, <resolution> must be specified in absolute time (seconds), not as a frac-
tion of the input signal period.
