Front Panel Menu Reference SCPI Command
Select the Meter key.
Front panel meters can only measure average voltage
and current.
To measure average voltage & current:
MEAS:VOLT? (@1)
MEAS:CURR? (@1)
To measure RMS voltage & current:
MEAS:VOLT:ACDC? (@1)
MEAS:CURR:ACDC? (@1)
To measure the high or low level of a pulse:
MEAS:VOLT:HIGH? (@1)
MEAS:CURR:HIGH? (@1)
MEAS:VOLT:LOW? (@1)
MEAS:CURR:LOW? (@1)
To measure the maximum or minimum value:
MEAS:VOLT:MAX? (@1)
MEAS:CURR:MAX? (@1)
MEAS:VOLT:MIN? (@1)
MEAS:CURR:MIN? (@1)
To measure power:
MEAS:POW? (@1)
Power measurements require simultaneous measurement capability (refer to Model Differences).
Array queries return all values in the voltage and current measurement buffer. No averaging is
applied, only raw data is returned from the buffer.

MEAS:ARR:CURR? (@1)
Retrieving the Measurement Array Data
Once a measurement finishes, you may wish to retrieve the array data without initiating a new
measurement. Use FETCh queries to return the array data from the last measurement. Fetch queries
do not alter the data in the measurement buffer. The commands are:

Not available FETC:ARR:VOLT? (@1)
FEAS:ARR:POW? (@1)
FETC:ARR:CURR? (@1)
Power measurements require simultaneous measurement capability (refer to Model Differences).
If a FETCh query is sent before the measurement is started or before it is finished, the response will be
delayed until the measurement trigger occurs and the acquisition completes. This may tie up the
computer if the measurement trigger does not occur immediately. You can test the MEAS_active bit in
the operation status register to know when the measurement has completed as explained in the
following section.
