12: SCPI command reference 2470 High Voltage SourceMeter Instrument
12-6 2470-901-01 Rev. A / May 2019
The STATus buffer element returns status values for the readings in the buffer. The status values are
integers that encode the status value. Refer to the following table for values.
Buffer status bits for sense measurements
Bit (hex) Name Decimal Description
Measure status questionable
A/D converter from which reading originated; for the
2470, this will always be 0 (main)
Measure terminal, front is 1, rear is 0
Measure status limit 2 low
Measure status limit 2 high
Measure status limit 1 low
Measure status limit 1 high
Example
TRACe:MAKE "voltMeasBuffer", 10000
MEAS:VOLT? "voltMeasBuffer", FORM, DATE, READ
voltMeasBuffer
. Make a voltage measurement and store it in the buffer
voltMeasBuffer and return the formatted reading, the date, and the reading elements from the buffer.
Example output:
-00.0024 mV,05/16/2018,-2.384862E-06

:READ?
This query makes measurements, places them in a reading buffer, and returns the last reading.
Type Affected by Where saved Default value
Usage
:READ?
:READ? "<bufferName>"
:READ? "<bufferName>", <bufferElements>
The name of the buffer where the reading is stored; if nothing is specified,
defbuffer1 is used
See Details; if nothing is specified, READing is used
Details
This query makes the number of readings specified by [:SENSe[1]]:COUNt. If multiple readings
are made, all readings are available in the reading buffer. However, only the last reading is returned
as a reading with the command. To get multiple readings, use the :TRACe:DATA? command.
