:MEASure Commands 19

Agilent InfiniiVision 3000 X-Series Oscilloscopes Programmer's Guide 333

:MEASure:AREa

(see page 860)

Command Syntax

:MEASure:AREa [<interval>][,][<source>]

<interval> ::= {CYCLe | DISPlay}

<source> ::= {CHANnel<n> | FUNCtion | MATH | WMEMory<r>}

<n> ::= 1 to (# analog channels) in NR1 format

<r> ::= 1-2 in NR1 format

The :MEASure:AREa command installs an area measurement on screen.

Area measurements show the area between the waveform and the ground

level.

The <interval> option lets you specify the measurement interval: either an

integral number of cycles, or the full screen. If <interval> is not specified,

DISPlay is implied.

Query Syntax

:MEASure:AREa? [<interval>][,][<source>]

The :MEASure:AREa? query measures and returns the area value.

Return Format

<value> ::= the area value in volt-seconds in NR3 format

• ":MEASure:SOURce" on page 362

NOTE

This command is not available if the source is FFT (Fast Fourier Transform).
