4 Using the Regenerative Power System
Front Panel Menu Reference
Select Measure\Control.
The Trig state field indicates "Idle".
If bit 5 is set in the query response, the MEAS_active bit is true, and the measurement is NOT
complete. When the MEAS_active bit is false, you can retrieve the measurement. Refer to
Tutorial
for more information.
Multiple trigger events per measurement
The measurement system can capture other triggers that occur during the acquisition, return the
number and position of those triggers, and calculate dc values based on a subset of the data
surrounding those triggers. The basic concept is that a single long acquisition may contain several
events of interest, and that these events are marked by locations where additional triggers occurred.
The locations of these events are described as an index into the acquisition's store of acquired data.
Indices range from 0 to 1 less than the number of acquired readings (see SENse:SWEep:POINts).
You can query and return the indices where additional triggers occurred during the measurement. The
number of indices returned matches the number of triggers that occurred.

You can also return the actual measurement data that was captured after any of the aforementioned
trigger indices.

To query the MEAS_active bit (bit 5):
STAT:OPER:COND?
SCPI Command
To query how many (if any) additional triggers occurred:
TRIG:ACQ:IND:COUN?
To return the indices where the triggers occurred:
TRIG:ACQ:IND?
SCPI Command
To return DC voltage or current calculated after the trigger indcies:
FETC:VOLT? [<start_index>, <points>]
FETC:CURR? [<start_index>, <points>]
To return instantaneous voltage or current data after the trigger
indices:
FETC:ARR:VOLT? [<start_index>, <points>]
FETC:ARR:CURR? [<start_index>, <points>]
