Reading Out Measured Result
Reading Out Measured Result
Reading out measured result using
You can use this readout method when you want to read out the result synchronously with
the completion of measurement without detecting the time of trigger in the trigger wait
state in your program. Therefore, this is useful, for example, when you want to trigger the
instrument from external equipment such as a handler and read out the result using an
external controller immediately after the completion of measurement.
The readout procedure using the
command is described below.
Step 1.
Use the
:TRIGger[:SEQ1]:SOURce command on page 299
to set the trigger mode to
internal trigger (Internal) or external trigger (External).
Step 2.
Execute the
command.
Step 3.
Trigger the instrument using the method for the trigger mode setup.
Step 4.
Read out the measured result. To repeat the measurement, repeat Steps 2 to 4.
Sample program

ASCII and Binary format respectively using :READ? command.
Trigger input timing when using
command
You must input a trigger after execution of the
command. Therefore, if you use
different controllers for outputting the trigger and executing the
need to find out whether the
command has been executed from the controller for
outputting the trigger in order to prepare the proper timing for trigger output (to trigger the
instrument after execution of the
command).
You can obtain this information from the /READY_FOR_TRIG signal of the handler
interface as shown in
