Usage
TRIGger:BLOCk:MEASure <blockNumber>
TRIGger:BLOCk:MEASure <blockNumber>, <bufferName>
<blockNumber>
The sequence of the block in the trigger model
<bufferName>
The name of the buffer, which must be an existing buffer; if no buffer is defined,
defbuffer1
is used
Details
When the trigger model reaches the measurement block:
1. The instrument makes a reading.
2. The trigger model waits for the measurement to complete.
3. The instrument places the measurement into the specified reading buffer. If no buffer is specified,
the reading is placed into the default buffer (
defbuffer1
).
If you are defining a specific reading buffer, you must create it before you define this block.
Example
TRIG:LOAD:EMPTY
TRIG:BLOC:BUFF:CLEAR 1
TRIG:BLOC:MEAS 2
TRIG:BLOC:BRAN:COUN 3, 5, 2
TRIG:BLOC:DEL:CONS 4, 1
TRIG:BLOC:BRAN:COUN 5, 3, 2
Reset trigger model settings.
Clear
defbuffer1

.
