The error queue can store up to 30 error messages which are retrieved in a
first in, first out (FIFO) manner. When there are no error messages in the
queue, a code of 0 and the message "No Error" are returned. Errors
generated during front panel operation are displayed but are not stored in
the error queue.
Note Appendix B contains a list of error messages associated with the multimeter
and their causes.
Making a
Measurement
The HP E1326B/E1411B multimeter can be configured and make
measurements using the
MEASure command. The following examples
show how it is used with the stand-alone and scanning multimeters.
Example: Making a
Measurement
(Stand-Alone
Multimeter)
This example uses the MEASure command to make a DC voltage
measurement on the terminals connected to the multimeter’s faceplate.
The reading is then entered into the computer and displayed.
10 OUTPUT 70903;"MEAS:VOLT:DC?"
20 ENTER 70903;Rdg
30 PRINT Rdg
40 END
Example: Making a
Measurement
(Scanning Multimeter)
This example uses the MEASure command to scan a list of multiplexer
channels and make a DC voltage measurement on each channel. The
readings are then entered into the computer and displayed.
10 DIM Rdgs(1:5)
20 OUTPUT 70903;"MEAS:VOLT:DC? (@100:104)"
30 ENTER 70903;Rdgs(*)
40 PRINT Rdgs(*)
50 END
