smu.measure.rel.acquire()
This function acquires an internal measurement to store as the relative offset value.
Type TSP-Link accessible
Affected by Where saved Default value
Usage
relativeValue = smu.measure.rel.acquire()
The internal measurement acquired for the relative offset value
Details
This command triggers the Model 2450 to make a new measurement for the selected function. This
measurement is then stored as the new relative offset level setting.
When you send this command, the measurement is made without applying any math, limit test, or filter settings,
even if they are set. It is a reading as if these settings are disabled.
After executing this command, you can use the smu.measure.rel.level attribute to see the last relative level
value that was acquired or that was set.
If an error occurs during the measurement, nil is returned and the relative offset level remains at the last valid
setting.
Example
smu.measure.func = smu.FUNC_DC_VOLTAGE
rel_value = smu.measure.rel.acquire()
smu.measure.rel.enable = smu.ON
Acquires a relative offset level value for voltage
measurements and turns the relative offset
feature on.
