13-8 SCPI Signal Oriented Commands Model 2701 User’s Manual
MEASure:<function>? [<rang>], [<res>], [<clist>]
MEASure:VOLTage[:DC]? [<rang>], [<res>], [<clist>] Measure DCV
MEASure:VOLTage:AC? [<rang>], [<res>], [<clist>] Measure ACV
MEASure:CURRent[:DC]? [<rang>], [<res>], [<clist>] Measure DCI
MEASure:CURRent:AC? [<rang>], [<res>], [<clist>] Measure ACI
MEASure:RESistance? [<rang>], [<res>], [<clist>] Measure Ω2
MEASure:FRESistance? [<rang>], [<res>], [<clist>] Measure Ω4
MEASure:FREQuency? [<rang>], [<res>], [<clist>] Measure FREQ
MEASure:PERiod? [<rang>], [<res>], [<clist>] Measure PERIOD
MEASure:TEMPerature? [<clist>] Measure TEMP
MEASure:CONTinuity? [<clist>] Measure CONT
Parameters <rang> = Range parameter for the specified function. For example for
DCV, range parameter value 10 selects the 10V range. See the
“NOTES” that follow Table 13-1 for additional information.
<res> = 0.1 i.e., 100.0 V (3½ digits)
0.01 i.e., 10.00 V (3½ digits)
0.001 i.e., 1.000 V (3½ digits)
0.0001 i.e., 1.0000 V (4½ digits)
0.00001 i.e., 1.00000 V (5½ digits)
0.000001 i.e., 1.000000 V (6½ digits)
The resolution of the <res> parameter value and the selected
range sets the number of display digits. As shown above, with
the 100V range selected and <res> = 0.1, a 100V reading will
be displayed as 100.0 V (3½ digits).
The display will default to 3½ digits when using parameter
values that attempt to set the display below 3½ digits. For
example, a 10V reading using <res> = 0.1 for the 10V range is
displayed as 10.00 V, not 10.0 V.
A command using parameter values that attempt to set the
display above 7½ digits is ignored and generates error -221
(settings conflict error).
See the “NOTES” that follow Table 13-1 for additional
information.
<clist> = Single channel only. When included, this is the channel to be
closed and measured.
Description The MEASure? command combines all of the other signal oriented
measurement commands to perform a “one-shot” measurement and
acquire the reading. If the <clist> parameter is included, the specified
channel will close before performing the measurement.
When a MEASure? command is sent, the specified function is selected.
If specified, range and resolution will also set.
