Keysight 53230A - Measure:speriod

MEASure:SPERiod?
Syntax
MEASure:SPERiod? [<channel>]
Description
This query sets all measurement parameters and trigger parameters default values for single-period meas-
urements, then immediately triggers a measurement. The results are sent directly to the instrument out-
put buffer.
Parameters
Name Type Range of Values Default Value
<channel> Expression (@1) | (@2) (@1)
Remarks
l This query makes a single-period measurement. To make an averaging measurement, use
MEASure:PERiod?.
l The input channel is configured for auto-leveling at 50% with a positive slope.
Because this command enables auto-leveling on the selected channel, 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:SPERiod, INPut:LEVel{1|2}, and READ? instead of MEASure:SPERiod?.
l This measurement is a specialized time interval measurement. The gate is controlled by the
SENSe:TINTerval:GATE:SOURce command.
l The gate source (see SENSe:TINTerval:GATE:SOURce) is set to IMMediate.
Return Format
The query returns a single measurement. The format of the measurement is controlled by the FORMat
Subsystem commands.
Examples
The following example configures the instrument for single-period measurements on channel 1 using
default parameters, makes one measurement, and then transfers the measurement to the instrument out-
put buffer.
