Command Reference 8-89
:READ :ARRay?
8 «<array size for FETCh>|MAX»
Read an array of results
The :READ:ARRay? query differs from the :READ? query by reading out several
results at once after making the number of measurements previously set up by
:CONFigure:ARRay 8 or 8 :MEASure:ARRAy?.
The :READ:ARRay? query is identical to:
:ABORt;:INITiate;:FETCh:ARRay?_<array size for FETCh>
+
The
<array

:READ to

-
ments, only to fetch that many results. :CONF:ARR, 8 :MEAS:ARR,
:ARM:LAY1:COUN or :TRIG:LAY1:COUN sets the number of measurements.
Parameters:
<array size for FETCh> sets the number of measurement results in the array. The size must be
equal to or less than the number of measurements in the output buffer. The maximum
limit is 10000 due to the physical size of the output buffer.
MAX means that all the results in the output buffer will be fetched.
Returned format: <data>[,<data>]¿
The format of the returned data is determined by the format commands :FORMat
and :FORMat:FIXed.
SEND®
:ARM:COUN 8 10;:READ:ARR? 8 5
This example configures the counter to make an array of 10 standard measure-
ments. The counter is triggered and data from the first five measurements are read
out with the :READ? query.
Type of command: Aborts all previous measurement commands if *WAI is not used.
+
You cannot combine Statistics with array readouts, so if you want to store and
fetch individual values in a block measurement, you have to make sure the de
-
fault command :CALC:AVER:STATE OFF is active.
Complies with standards: SCPI 1991.0, confirmed.
