3 53220A/53230A Measurements
Continuous
Continuous totalizing measurements count events (edges) that occur on the
input channel.
Similar to gated (timed) totalizing measurements, continuous measurements
begin when the measurement gate is opened (Figure 3-12). Rather than totaliz-
ing for a specified gate time, continuous totalizing continues indefinitely until
the measurement is aborted, or cleared and restarted from the front panel.
The command used to make continuous totalizing measurements is:
CONFigure:TOTalize:CONTinuous [<channel>]
- channel is counter channel 1 or 2, specified as (@1) or (@2). (There is no
equivalent MEASure? command for continuous totalizing measurements.)
The command:
[SENSe:]TOTalize:DATA?
can be used during continuous totalizing or with long gate times to read the
current count.
