Model 6482 Dual-Channel Picoammeter / Voltage Source Reference Manual
Section 6: Data Store
in this section for a summary of these commands (see
,
for more details).
Using :READ? to store data
Use :TRIG:COUN <n> to set the number of readings to be stored (n = Number of readings; 3000
maximum). Use the :FORM:ELEM CURR1 | CURR2 to select the channel. Turn on the output with
:OUTP1 ON or :OUTP2 ON and then send the :READ? command to trigger and access readings.
Once you access these readings, you will still be able to access previously stored :TRACe buffer
readings using :TRAC:DATA?. See
and
,
for triggering
details, and
for information on the :READ? command.
Remote command data store
This topic describes basic data store (buffer) capabilities as accessed over a remote interface.
Data store commands
summarizes commands associated with data store operation. See

Read contents of buffer.
Clear buffer.
Read buffer memory status.
Specify buffer size (n = Buffer size).
Query number of stored readings.
Start or stop buffer. Name = NEXT (fill buffer and stop) or NEVer
(disable buffer).
Select timestamp format. Name = ABSolute (reference to first
buffer reading) or DELTa (time between buffer readings).
Select buffer statistic (name = MEAN, SDEViation, MAXimum,
MINimum, or PKPK).
Read buffer statistic data.
Select buffer data elements. Name = CURRent[1], CURRent2,
CALCulate1, or CALCulate2, CALCulate3, CALCulate4,
CALCulate5, CALCulate6, CALCulate7, TIME, STATus, ALL, or
DEFault (CURRent[1] or CURRent2).
Select CALC8:DATA? source. Name = CALC3, CALC4, CALC5, or
CALC6.
