Measure Commands 25
Agilent Infiniium 9000 Series Oscilloscopes Programmer's Reference 539
:MEASure:EDGE
Command :MEASure:EDGE [<source>[,<direction>]]
The :MEASure:EDGE command measures the time of the edge, relative to
the reference location.
Sources are specified with the :MEASure:SOURce command or with the
optional <source> parameter following the :MEASure:DUTYcycle command.
<source> {CHANnel<N> | FUNCtion<F> | DIGital<M> | WMEMory<N> | CLOCk |
MTRend | MSPectrum | EQUalized}
MTRend and MSPectrum sources are only available if the oscilloscope has
the EZJIT option installed and the feature is enabled.
The CLOCk source is only available if the oscilloscope has the High Speed
Serial option installed and the feature is enabled.
The EQUalized source is only available if the oscilloscope has the High
Speed Serial option and the Serial Data Equalization option installed and
the features are enabled. This command uses the Feed- Forward Equalized
(FFE) signal as the source.
<N> CHANnel<N> is an integer, 1- 4.
WMEMory<N> is an integer, 1- 4.
<F> FUNCtion<F> is an integer, 1- 16.
<M> An integer, 0- 15. Digital channels are available on mixed-signal
oscilloscopes.
<direction> {RISing | FALLing | BOTH}
Specifies direction of edge to start measurement. When <direction> is
specified, the <source> parameter is required.
Using the <direction> parameter will set the "Measure All Edges" mode if it
is not currently set. You can use the :MEASure:JITTer:STATistics command
to turn the "Measure All Edges" mode off (or on again). See
":MEASure:JITTer:STATistics" on page 581.
Example This example measures the duty cycle of the channel 1 waveform.
myScope.WriteString ":MEASure:EDGE CHANnel1"
Query :MEASure:EDGE? [<source>[,<direction>]]
The :MEASure:EDGE? query returns the measured edge time of the
specified source.
