Parameter 
 
Remarks   
  The frequency counter starts measuring when the input signal reaches the specified trigger level. 
  The minimum resolution is 6 mV. 
 
Return Format 
The query returns the trigger level in scientific notation. The returned value contains 7 effective digits, for 
example, 1.500000E+00 (the trigger level is 1.5 V). 
 
Example 
:COUN:LEVE 1.5    /*Sets the trigger level of the frequency counter to 1.5 V.*/ 
:COUN:LEVE?  /*Queries the trigger level of the frequency counter and the query returns    
   1.500000E+00.*/ 
 
 
:COUNter:MEASure? 
 
Syntax 
:COUNter:MEASure? 
 
Description 
Queries the measurement results of the frequency counter. 
 
Remarks 
When the frequency counter is in the "RUN" or "SINGLE" state, send this command to query the 
measurement values. When the frequency counter is in the "STOP" state, send this command to query the 
measurement values of the last measurement. 
 
Return Format 
The query returns a string consisting of 5 parts (representing the frequency, period, duty cycle, positive 
pulse width, and negative pulse width respectively), separated by commas. Each part is expressed in 
scientific notation and contains 10 effective digits, for example,  
2.000000000E+03,5.000000000E-04,4.760800000E+01,2.380415000E-04, 
2.619585000E-04 (representing the measurement result: 2 kHz frequency, 500 us period, 47.608% duty 
cycle, 238.0415 us positive pulse width, and 261.9585 us negative pulse width).   
When the frequency counter function is disabled, the query returns 0.000000000E+00,0.000000000E+00, 
0.000000000E+00,0.000000000E+00,0.000000000E+00. 
 
Example 
:COUN:MEAS? /*Queries the measurement results of the frequency counter and the query returns 
2.000000000E+03,5.000000000E-04, 
4.760800000E+01,2.380415000E-04,2.619585000E-04.*/ 
 
 
:COUNter:SENSitive 
 
Syntax 
:COUNter:SENSitive {LOW|HIGh} 
:COUNter:SENSitive? [LOW|HIGh] 
 
Description 
Sets the trigger sensitivity of the frequency counter. 
Queries the trigger sensitivity of the frequency counter.
