6.6 MEASURE SCPI COMMAND SUBSYSTEM
This section first presents a tree summary of the MEASure commands
and then provides a tabular description.
6.6.1 MEASURE SCPI Command Summary
MEASure
:CURRent
:CURRent?
:AVErage <value>
:AVErage?
:POWer?
(Available only with SGI power supplies – see Section 6.13.)
:VOLTage
:VOLTage?
:AVErage <value>
:AVErage?
6.6.2 MEASURE SCPI Command Reference
The letter “C” in the “SCPI” column means that the command syntax is SCPI
compliant; an “N” in the “SCPI” column means that the command syntax is not
part of the SCPI definition.
Command Description
SCPI
MEASure
Measure subsystem.
C
:CURRent?
Returns the floating point value of the DC output current in amps.
C
:CURRent
Measure Current subsystem.
N
:AVErage
<NR1>
Enter a value of 1 to 5 to set the number of readings to average
together when returning the current value from the MEAS:CURR?
command. This function reduces noise in the readback readings.
The (default) value of 1 provides the fastest response time, but the
noisiest readings.
N
:AVErage?
Returns the number 1 to 5 to indicate the last set number of readings
to average together when taking a current reading.
N
:POWer? (SGI
only)
see Section 6.13
:VOLTage?
Returns the floating point value of the DC output voltage in volts.
C
:VOLTage
Measure Voltage subsystem.
N
:AVErage
<NR1>
Enter a value of 1 to 5 to set the number of readings to average
together when returning the voltage value from the MEAS:VOLT?
command. This function reduces noise in the readback readings.
The (default) value of 1 provides the fastest response time, but the
noisiest readings.
N
:AVErage?
Returns the number 1 to 5 to indicate the last set number of readings
to average together when taking a voltage reading.
