when INITiate is executed. The MEASure? And CONFigure commands
automatically select “CALC”. With memory disabled (DATA:FEED
RDG_STORE,“”), readings taken using INITiate are not stored. This may be
useful with the Min/Max operation since it allows you to determine an average of
the readings without storing the individual values. An error will be generated if
you attempt to transfer readings to the output buffer using the FETCh?
command.
DATA:FEED?
Query the reading memory state. Return “CALC” or “”.
C.7 The Triggering Commands
INITiate
Change the state of the triggering system from the “idle” state to
“wait-for-trigger” state. The meter will start to make measurements when a
required triggering condition is met after the INITiate command is received.
Readings are stored in memory until you are ready to read them. Use FETCh?
command to retrieve your measurements results.
READ?
Change the state of the triggering system from the “idle” state to
“wait-for-trigger” state. The meter will start to make measurements when a
required triggering condition is met after the READ? Command is received.
Readings are sent to the output buffer right away.
TRIGger:SOURce {BUS|IMMediate|EXTernal}
Select a trigger source. The multimeter will accept a software (BUS) trigger, an
immediate internal trigger, or a hardware trigger from the rear-panel EXT TRIG
terminal.
TRIGger:SOURce?
Query the trigger source.
TRIGger:DELay {<seconds>|MINimum|MAXimum}
