MEASURE SCPI Command Reference

The letter “C” in the “SCPI” column means that the command syntax is SCPI
compliant; an “N” in the “SCPI” column means that the command syntax is not
part of the SCPI definition.

Command

Description

SCPI

MEASure

Measure subsystem.

C

:CURRent?

Returns the floating point value of the DC output current in amps.

C

:CURRent

Measure Current subsystem.

N

:AVErage

Enter a value of 3 to 9 to set the number of readings to average
together when returning the current value from the

MEAS:CURR?

command to reduce noise in the readback readings. The value of 3
(factory default) provides the fastest response time in the readings,
but less rejection of noise.

N

:AVErage?

Returns the number 3 to 9 to indicate the number of readings to
average together when taking a current reading.

N

:POWer?

(SGI only);

see Section 6.13

:VOLTage?

Returns the floating point value of the DC output voltage in volts.

C

:VOLTage

Measure Voltage subsystem.

N

:AVErage

Enter a value of 1 to 5 to set the number of readings to average
together when returning the voltage value from the

MEAS:VOLT?

command. This function reduces noise in the readback readings.
The value of 1 (factory default) provides the fastest response time in
the readings, but less rejection of noise.

N

:AVErage?

Returns the number 1 to 5 to indicate the last set number of readings
to average together when taking a voltage reading.
