Measurement Commands
The signal-oriented measurement commands are used to acquire readings. You can use these high-
level instructions to control the measurement process.
Making Measurements
The electronic load has the ability to make several types of voltage or current measurements. The
measurement capabilities of the electronic load are particularly useful with applications that draw
current in pulses.
All measurements are performed by digitizing the instantaneous input voltage or current for a defined
number of samples and sample interval, storing the results in a buffer, and then calculating the
measured result. Many parameters of the measurement are programmable. These include the number
of samples, the time interval between samples, and the method of triggering. Note that there is a
tradeoff between these parameters and the speed, accuracy, and stability of the measurement in the
presence of noise.
There are two ways to make measurements:
1) Use the MEASure commands to immediately start acquiring new voltage or current data,
and return measurement calculations from this data as soon as the buffer is full. This is the
easiest way to make measurements, since it requires no explicit trigger programming.
2) Use an acquisition trigger to acquire the data. Then use the FETCh commands to return
calculations from the data that was retrieved by the acquisition trigger. This method gives
