Error messages
– If the last measurement is not valid, error –230, “Data corrupt or stale” occurs.
A measurement is valid after it has been initiated. It becomes invalid when
either a reset occurs or any measurement parameter, for example frequency, is
changed.
– If the expected_value and resolution parameters are not the same as the
current expected value and resolution settings on the measurement, error
–221, “Settings conflict” occurs.
resolution A numeric value for the resolution. If it is unspecified, the
current resolution setting is used. If a value is entered, it
should correspond to the current resolution setting otherwise
an error occurs.
1 to 4
[b]
1.0, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001
DEF
[a]
source list The measurement channel which the command is
implemented on. The U8480 Series supports only one
channel. Therefore, the only valid value is (@1).
(@1)
[a] The mnemonic DEF means DEFault. This is not equivalent to the DEFault parameter used in the command subsystems. The parameters must
be entered in the specified order. If parameters are omitted, they default from the right. The parameter DEFault is used as a placeholder.
Specifying DEF leaves the parameter value unchanged.
[b] When the measurement result is linear, this parameter represents the number of significant digits. When the measurement result is
logarithmic, 1 to 4 represents 1, 0.1, 0.01, and 0.001 respectively.
FETC? Queries the measurement result.
