Continuous Totalizing
Continuous totalizing as configured by the command:
CONFigure:TOTalize:CONTinuous
sets the gate source to TIME and the gate time to INFinity. The command
also sets the input threshold to 0.0V and the edge (events that are totalized) to
positive. Refer to Chapter 4 - “53220A/53230A Input Signal Conditioning” for
information on the commands in the INPut subsystem used to change these
parameters.
Reading the Current Count During continuous or timed totalizing with long
gate times, the current count can be read with the command:
[SENSe:]TOTalize:DATA?
For example:
CONF:TOT:CONT // configure continuous totalizing
INIT // start measurement
.
SENS:TOT:DATA? // query current count
.
ABOR // terminate measurements
