Retrieving the Measurement Results for Measurement
Parameters 1 through 4
This section describes how to retrieve the measurement results for each of the
measurement parameters 1 through 4.
In addition to the :DATA:FDAT{1-4}? command on page 263 that retrieves the
measurement results for the four measurement parameters directly from the internal Data
Array, you can use the following three commands to retrieve these measurement results as
well as the measurement status, the results of test signal monitoring, R
dc
measurement, and
bin sorting.
• *TRG on page 208
• :FETC? on page 280
• :READ? on page 293
The following table summarizes how to retrieve the measurement results for measurement
parameters 1 through 4:
