3 53220A/53230A Measurements
Using CONFigure and the appropriate low-level commands, the configuration
can be changed before the measurement is initiated (the abbreviated form of
the SCPI commands are shown):
//configure counter for frequency measurements
//change parameter values from those set by CONFigure
CONF:FREQ 1.0E6, (@2)
TRIG:SOUR EXT
TRIG:SLOP POS
TRIG:COUN 2
SAMP:COUN 5
SENS:FREQ:GATE:TIME 0.005
SENS:FREQ:GATE:SOUR TIME
INIT
Using CONFigure?
The following command:
CONFigure?
returns the measurement function configured by the last CONFigure or
MEASure? command sent to the instrument. Sending CONFigure? after
power is cycled generates a settings conflict error until CONFigure or
MEASure? is sent.
For example:
CONF:FREQ 1.0E6, (@2)
CONF?
returns (including quotes):
"FREQ +1.00000000000000E+006,+1.00000000000000E-004,(@2)"
which includes the function, expected value, (calculated) resolution, and
channel. If a channel number is not specified in the CONFigure or MEASure
command, no channel is included in the return string.
