Part 2: Automation Programming Reference
Exposing Measurements
Measurement results are read similar to Waveforms, using the appropriate app.Measure.Pn.Out.Result
object.
The Value is the default property of all Out.Results, so getting the above result delivers the last measured
value in the acquisition for that parameter.
Statistics
In addition to the last measured value, statistics are available for each parameter using two different calls:
result = app.Measure.P1.mean.Result.Value
result = app.Measure.P1.max.Result.Value
result = app.Measure.P1.min.Result.Value
result = app.Measure.P1.num.Result.Value
result = app.Measure.P1.sdev.Result.Value
result = app.Measure.P1.Statistics("mean").Result.Value
result = app.Measure.P1.Statistics("max").Result.Value
result = app.Measure.P1.Statistics("min").Result.Value
result = app.Measure.P1.Statistics("num").Result.Value
result = app.Measure.P1.Statistics("sdev").Result.Value
The data used to display the Histicon is available using the “histo” statistic. For example:
Set app = CreateObject("LeCroy.XStreamDSO")
bins = app.Measure.P5.Statistics("histo").Result.BinPopulations
numBins = app.Measure.P5.Statistics("histo").Result.bins
For i = 0 To numBins - 1
Cells(i + 1, 4).Value = bins(i)
Next I
Set app = Nothing
Measurements on Sequence Mode Waveforms
In MAUI firmware version 7.7.x.x and later, the segment index is supported as an argument to the
app.Measure.Pn.Out.Result property. For example:
set myResult = app.Measure.P1.Out.Result(1)
returns the result of the measurement on segment 1 of the P1 source waveform (which is a Sequence
Mode acquisition).
Zero (0) or no argument returns the result related to last segment. A segment index greater than the total
number of segments also returns the result related to last segment.
