SCPI Signal-Oriented Measurement Commands 16-5
:MEASure[:<function>]?
Parameters <function> = CURRent[:DC] Amps function
VOLTage[:DC] Volts function
RESistance Ohms function
Description This command combines other signal-oriented measurement commands to
perform a “one-shot” measurement and acquire the reading. Note that if a
function is not specified, the measurement will be done on the function that
is presently selected.
When this command is sent, the following commands execute in the order
that they are presented.
• :CONFigure:<function>
• :READ?
When :CONFigure is executed, the instrument goes into a “one-shot” mea-
surement mode. See :CONFigure<function> for more details.
When :READ? is executed, its operations will then be performed. In gen-
eral, another :ABORt is performed, then an :INITiate, and finally a FETCh?
to acquire the readings. See :READ? for more details.
When :MEASure? is sent, the source turns on and a single measurement is
performed. If auto output-off is enabled (:SOURce1:CLEar:AUTO ON),
then the output will turn off after the measurement is completed. If auto
output-off is disabled (:SOURce1:CLEar:AUTO OFF), then the output will
remain on after the measurement is completed.
WARNING With auto output-off disabled, the output will remain on after the one-shot
source-measure operation is performed. Beware of hazardous voltage that
may be present on the output terminals.
