The output of :MEASure:DIGitize? is affected by the data format selected by :FORMat[:DATA].
If you set FORMat[:DATA] to REAL or SREAL, you will have fewer options for buffer elements. The
only buffer elements available are READing, RELative, SOURce, and EXTRa. If you request a buffer
element that is not permitted for the selected data format, the instrument generates the error 1133,
"Parameter 4, Syntax error, expected valid name parameters."
The STATus buffer element returns status values for the readings in the buffer. The status values are
floating-point numbers 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
Model 2461, this will always be 0 (main) or 2 (digitizer)
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 "voltDigitizeBuffer", 10000
MEAS:DIG:VOLT? "voltDigitizeBuffer", FORM, DATE, READ
Create a buffer named voltMeasBuffer. Make a digitize voltage reading 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,05/16/2014,-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
