Specifications

MEASure
The MEASure command subsystem is an HP E1326B/E1411B Multimeter
subsystem which configures the multimeter for strain measurements. After
configuring the multimeter,
MEASure immediately makes the (strain)
measurement.
Executing
MEASure is equivalent to configuring the multimeter with the
low-level commands shown in the following table.
Parameter Command Setting
Range VOLTage:RANGe
RESistance:RANGe
As specified or autorange.
Resolution VOLTage:RESolution
RESistance:RESolution
As specified, or as a function of range,
integration time, or aperture time.
Aperture Time VOLTage:APERture
RESistance:APERture
16.7 ms (60 Hz) or 20 ms (50 Hz), or based on
specified resolution.
Integration Time VOLTage:NPLC
RESistance:NPLC
1 power line cycle (PLC) or based on specified
resolution.
Autozero CALibration:ZERO:AUTO ON (autozero is performed after every
measurement).
Offset Compensation RESistance:OCOMpensated OFF (resistance measurements only).
Trigger Source TRIGger:SOURce IMM (trigger signal is always true).
Measurement is taken when multimeter goes
to trigger state.
Number of Triggers
or Number of Scans
TRIGger:COUNt 1; number of triggers issued or number of
scans through channel list before multimeter
returns to idle state.
Trigger Delay TRIGger:DELay AUTO (delays are 0 seconds for DC voltage
and resistance; 0.5 seconds for AC voltage).
Readings per Trigger SAMPle:COUNt 1; number of measurements taken when
trigger is received.
Sample Period SAMPle:SOURce IMM; period between measurements or the
period between FET multiplexer scans.
Refer to Chapter 5 in the HP E1326B/E1411B Multimeter User’s Manual
for more information on the
MEASure subsystem.
