Measure Commands 24
Agilent Infiniium 90000 Series Oscilloscopes Programmer's Reference 625
:MEASure:VMAX
Command :MEASure:VMAX [<source>]
The :MEASure:VMAX command measures the absolute maximum voltage
present on the selected source waveform. Sources are specified with the
:MEASure:SOURce command or with the optional parameter following the
:MEASure:VMAX command.
<source> {CHANnel<N> | FUNCtion<N> | 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.
FUNCtion<N> and WMEMory<N> are:
An integer, 1 - 4, representing the selected function or waveform memory.
Example This example measures the absolute maximum voltage on the waveform.
myScope.WriteString ":MEASURE:VMAX CHANNEL1"
Query :MEASure:VMAX? [<source>]
The :MEASure:VMAX? query returns the measured absolute maximum
voltage or maximum FFT amplitude present on the selected source
waveform.
Returned Format
[:MEASure:VMAX] <value>[,<result_state>]<NL>
<value> Absolute maximum voltage present on the waveform.
<result_state> If SENDvalid is ON, the result state is returned with the measurement
result. See the :MEASure:RESults table in this chapter for a list of the
result states.
Example This example returns the measured absolute maximum voltage on the
waveform to the numeric variable, varMaximum, then prints the contents
of the variable to the computer's screen.
