4 Operating the Power System
86 Series N6700 User’s Guide
The following commands return the trigger system to the idle state:
Front Panel: SCPI Command:
Select Measure\Control.
Then select the Abort control.
ABOR:ACQ (@1)
Fetch the Measurement
After a trigger is received and the data acquisition completes, the
trigger system will return to the idle state. When this occurs, you can
use FETCh queries to return the measurement data.
Front Panel: SCPI Command:
Not Available To return average voltage & current:
FETC:VOLT?(@1)
FETC:CURR?(@1)
To return RMS voltage & current:
FETC:VOLT:ACDC?(@1)
FETC:CURR:ACDC?(@1)
To return the high level of a pulse:
FETC:VOLT:HIGH?(@1)
FETC:CURR:HIGH?(@1)
To return the low level of a pulse:
FETC:VOLT:LOW?(@1)
FETC:CURR:LOW?(@1)
To return the maximum value:
FETC:VOLT:MAX?(@1
FETC:CURR:MAX?(@1)
To return the minimum value:
FETC:VOLT:MIN?(@1)
FETC:CURR:MIN?(@1)
To return power:
FETC:POW?(@1)
Power can only be measured on power modules with simultaneous
measurement capability (see chapter 1, “Model Differences”)
If a FETCh query is sent before the measurement is finished, the
response will be delayed until the measurement trigger occurs and
the acquisition completes. You can test the MEAS_active bit in the
operation status register to know when the measurement trigger
system has returned to the idle state.
Front Panel: SCPI Command:
Not Available To query the MEAS_active bit (bit 5):
STAT:OPER:COND?(@1)
If a bit value of 32 is returned in the query, the MEAS_active bit is
true, and the measurement is NOT complete. When the MEAS_active
bit is false, you can retrieve the measurement. Refer to the N6700
Programmer’s Reference Help file for more information.
