SCPI Command Reference
88
[:SENSe[1]]:FRESistance:REFerence:STATe <b> Control reference for Ω4
[:SENSe[1]]:FREQuency:REFerence:STATe <b> Control reference for FREQ
[:SENSe[1]]:PERiod:REFerence:STATe <b> Control reference for PER
Command parameter:
<b> = 1 or ON Enable reference
0 or OFF Disable reference
Query:
:STATe? Query state of reference.
Return String:
1 or 0
Description:
This command is used to enable or disable reference mode for the specified measurement function.
When enabled, the displayed reading will include the programmed reference value. When
disabled, the displayed reading will not include the reference value.
:ACQuire
Command syntax:
[:SENSe[1]]:CURRent:AC:REFerence:ACQuire Acquire reference for ACI
[:SENSe[1]]:CURRent[:DC]:REFerence:ACQuire Acquire reference for DCI
[:SENSe[1]]:VOLTage:AC:REFerence:ACQuire Acquire reference for ACV
[:SENSe[1]]:VOLTage[:DC]:REFerence:ACQuire Acquire reference for DCV
[:SENSe[1]]:RESistance:REFerence:ACQuire Acquire reference for Ω2
[:SENSe[1]]:FRESistance:REFerence:ACQuire Acquire reference for Ω4
[:SENSe[1]]:FREQuency:REFerence:ACQuire Acquire reference for FREQ
[:SENSe[1]]:PERiod:REFerence:ACQuire Acquire reference for PER
Description:
When this command is sent, the measurement input signal is acquired and becomes the reference
value. This command is typically used to zero the display. For example, if the instrument is
displaying a 1 μV offset, sending this command and enabling reference zeroes the display.
This command is functional only if the instrument is on the specified measurement function.
Sending this command while in any other function causes an error. Also, if the latest reading is
overflowed or a reading has not been triggered, an error occurs when this command is sent.
AVERage Command
The AVERage command is a subset to current, voltage, and resistance measurement commands, of
which are part of the SENSe subsystem. The below lists out all the command syntax for setting
AVERage for different measurement functions.
