Keithley 2182 User Manual

13-4 SCPI Signal Oriented Measurement Commands
If the instrument is in the idle state, :INITiate takes the instrument out of the idle state. If
continuous initiation is enabled, (:INITiate:CONTinuous ON), then the :INITiate command
generates an error and ignores the command.
NOTE You cannot use the :READ? command if sample count >1 (see Trigger subsystem) and
there are readings stored in the buffer (error -225, out of memory). Either set sample
count to one or clear the buffer.
See Appendix C for an example program using the READ? command.
:MEASure:<function>?
Parameters
<function> = VOLTage[:DC] Voltage
TEMPerature Temperature
Description
This command combines all of the other signal oriented measurement commands to perform
a “one-shot” measurement and acquire the reading.
When this command is sent, the following commands execute in the order that they are
presented.
:ABORt
:CONFigure:<function>
:READ?
When :ABORt is executed, the instrument goes into the idle state if continuous initiation is
disabled. If continuous initiation is enabled, the operation re-starts at the beginning of the
Trigger Model.
When :CONFigure is executed, the instrument goes into a “one-shot” measurement mode.
See :CONFigure for more details.
When :READ? is executed, its operations will then be performed. In general, another
:ABORt is performed, then an :INITiate, and finally a :FETCh? to acquire the reading. See
“:READ?” for more details.
