9.4 Preparing for the measurement
Before starting a measurement, you need to do the following:
● Selecting the reference source............................................................................... 70
● Selecting a measurement path............................................................................... 70
● Selecting a measurement mode............................................................................. 71
● Configuring the measured values........................................................................... 72
9.4.1 Selecting the reference source
The ROSCillator subsystem contains commands for configuring the reference
source.
[SENSe<Sensor>:]ROSCillator:SOURce <source>
Sets the source of the reference oscillator. Refers typically to a precision, stabilized
time base.
Parameters:
<source> INTernal | EXTernal | HOST
INTernal
Internal precision oscillator
EXTernal | HOST
External signal supplied at the host interface connector.
*RST: If the sensor boots or reboots, the source is set to
INTernal. If the sensor is reset, the source setting is
kept unchanged.
Example:
ROSC:SOUR INT
9.4.2 Selecting a measurement path
The RANGe subsystem contains commands for selection of a measurement path.
Remote commands:
[SENSe<Sensor>:]RANGe................................................................................................70
[SENSe<Sensor>:]RANGe:AUTO......................................................................................71
[SENSe<Sensor>:]RANGe:CLEVel....................................................................................71
[SENSe<Sensor>:]RANGe <range>
Sets the selected path as active measurement path.
Parameters:
<range> The sensitivity of the paths differs.
