[Overall] Meas. Count
The Measurement count defines the number of measurements to make per source level setting
applied.
The count can be set to an integer number or can be set to infinite to provide an infinite number
of continuous measurements based upon a single source level setting.
NOTE
When a shape waveform other than steady is chosen the count cannot be set to infinite. A
shape waveform only executes and applies the next source level setting once all measurements
for the existing level setting are complete, as such setting the measurement count to infinite
would result in only the first source level setting ever being applied.
In steady shape operation any new source level set immediately overrides the existing level
setting irrespective of how many measurements have been made. If the output is running and
the number of counts is set to a finite number, the new level setting will automatically trigger
the specified number of counts at that new level, regardless of the number of measurements
already made. However, the 100k measurement buffer limit still applies, any measurements
beyond this limit will be ignored.
