Reading out measured result using :FETCh? command
You can use this readout method when you want to trigger the instrument from any source
other than an external controller or when you want to perform a process that is between
triggering the instrument and reading out the measured result.
The readout procedure using the
:FETCh? command is described below.
Step 1. Set up the trigger mode as necessary.
Step 2. Trigger the instrument by using the method for the trigger mode.
NOTE To trigger the instrument from an external controller in this procedure, use the
:TRIGger[:SEQ1][:IMMediate] command on page 298 .
Step 3. Execute the :FETCh? command at the completion of the measurement.
Step 4. Read out the measured result. To repeat the measurement, repeat Steps 2 to 4.
Sample program
See Example 9-8 and Example 9-9 to view an example of reading out measured result in
ASCII and Binary format respectively using :FETCh? command.
