MEASure Subsystem
Measure commands measure the output voltage or current. They trigger the acquisition of new data
before returning the reading. Measurements are performed by digitizing the instantaneous output
voltage or current for a specified measurement time, storing the results in a buffer, and calculating the
value for the specified measurement type.
MEASure[:SCALar]:CURRent[:DC]?
MEASure[:SCALar]:POWer[:DC]?
MEASure[:SCALar]:VOLTage[:DC]?
Initiates, triggers, and returns the averaged output measurement. Values returned are either in
amperes, volts, or watts.
Parameter
(none)
Returns the measured dc current MEAS:CURR?
MEASure[:SCALar]:CURRent:ACDC?
MEASure[:SCALar]:VOLTage:ACDC?
Initiates, triggers, and returns the total rms measurement (ac + dc). Values returned are either in
amperes, or volts.
Parameter
(none)
Returns the measured rms voltage MEAS:VOLT:ACDC?
MEASure[:SCALar]:CURRent:HIGH?
MEASure[:SCALar]:VOLTage:HIGH?
Initiates, triggers, and returns the High level of a pulse waveform. Values returned are either in
amperes, or volts. See
