MEASure:CURRent:CREStfactor?
FETCh:CURRent:CREStfactor?
Phase Selectable
These queries return the output current crest factor. This is the ratio of peak output current
to rms output current.

FETCh[:SCALar]:CURRent:CREStfactor?
Parameters None

MEASure:CURRent:HARMonic?
[3Pi Controller Only]
FETCh:CURRent:HARMonic?
[3Pi Controller Only]
Phase Selectable
These queries return the rms amplitude of the Nth harmonic of output current. The
parameter is the desired harmonic number. Queries sent with a value of 0 return the dc
component. A value of 1 returns the fundamental output frequency. Harmonic frequencies
can be queried up to the fundamental measurement bandwidth of the measurement system:
MX Series I:
25.6 microseconds for single-phase mode and 76.8 microseconds for three-
phase mode.
MX/RS Series II: 10.4 microseconds for single-phase mode and 31.2 microseconds for
three-phase mode.
Thus the maximum harmonic that can be measured is dependent on the output frequency.
Any harmonics that represent frequencies greater than above frequencies are returned as 0.
