Reading Out Measured Result
This section describes how to read out the measured result.
You can read out the measured result in two ways: reading out data for each
measurement or reading out data of several measurements in batch.
The three commands shown in the table below can be used to read out the
measured data for each measurement.
When you want to read out the data of several measurements in batch, use the
data buffer.
Reading out measured result using *TRG command
This command actually performs two tasks: it triggers the instrument and
returns the results. It is useful, for example, when you want to retrieve
measurement results immediately after triggering the instrument from an
external controller.
The readout procedure using the *TRG command is described below.
Step 1. Use the :TRIGger[:SEQ1]:SOURce command on page 305 to set up the
trigger mode to the BUS trigger (BUS).
Step 2. Execute the *TRG command.
Step 3. Read out the measured result. To repeat the measurement, repeat Steps 2
and 3.
