:MEASure:DIGitize?
:MEASure:DIGitize:<function>?
:MEASure:DIGitize:<function>? "<bufferName>"
:MEASure:DIGitize:<function>? "<bufferName>", <bufferElements>
:MEASure:DIGitize? "<bufferName>"
:MEASure:DIGitize? "<bufferName>", <bufferElements>
<function>
The function to use for the measurement:
•
Voltage:
VOLTage
•
Current:
CURRent
If no function is defined, the presently selected one is used
<bufferName>
The name of the buffer where the reading is stored; if nothing is specified,
defbuffer1
is used
<bufferElements>

Details
This command makes a digitize measurement using the specified function and stores the reading in a
reading buffer. Sending this command changes the measurement function to the one specified by
<function>
. This function remains selected after the measurement is complete.
If you do not define the function parameter, the instrument uses the presently selected function. If a
digitize function is presently selected, an error is generated.
When you use a reading buffer with a command or action that makes multiple readings, all readings
are available in the reading buffer. However, only the last reading is returned as a reading with the
command.
If you define a specific reading buffer, the reading buffer must exist before you make the
measurement.
To get multiple readings, use the
:TRACe:DATA?
command.
:MEASure:DIGitize?
performs the same function as
READ:DIGitize?
.
:MEASure:DIGitize:<function>?
performs the same function as sending
:SENse:DIGitize:FUNCtion "<function>"
, then
READ?
.
