Descriptions of the Measurement Functions— <function>

This sub-section provides a description of each measurement function (that is,
[:VOLTage]:FREQuency, [:VOLTage]:FREQuency:RATio,
[:VOLTage]:PERiod, etc.) that can be used with either the :MEASure query or
:CONFigure command.

If your HP 53131A contians

Firmware Revision 3413

, refer to the subsection

titled “Firmware Revision  Work-Around Commands” on page 4-77. It is
important to refer to this subsection if your counter conta ins Firmware Revision
3413 because several measurement functions  commands will not work with this
firmware revision; thus,  work-around commands  must be used.

The commands that required work-around commands are:

:MEASure[:SCALar][:VOLTage]:MAXimum? <parameters>[<source_list>]

:MEASure[:SCALar][:VOLTage]:MINimum? <parameters>[<source_list>]
:MEASure[:SCALar][:VOLTage]:PTPeak? <Parameters>[<source_list>]

:READ[:SCALar][:VOLTage]:MAXimum?
:READ[:SCALar][:VOLTage]:MINimum?
:READ[:SCALar][:VOLTage]:PTPeak?

:READ?

In each of the following command lines, the MEASure command is used with the
measurement function commands.
