MEASure:DCYCle?
Syntax
MEASure:DCYCle?
This command first resets all duty cycle measurement parameters and
trigger parameters to their default values. Then, it configures the
instrument for duty cycle measurements and immediately triggers a
measurement. A single reading is returned.
There are two measuring paths for the duty cycle measurement — voltage
or current. Therefore, before setting the frequency measurement, you have
to configure the voltage (see
“MEASure[:VOLTage]:AC?” on page 128
) or
current (see
“MEASure:CURRent:AC?” on page 136
) measurements first.
Remarks
•
When no signal is applied, “
0
” is returned.
•
Autorange thresholds:
Down range at: <10% of range
Up range at: >120% of range
•
If the input signal is greater than can be measured on the selected
range (manual ranging), the instrument gives an overload indication.
•
Positive overload: “
+9.37
” or “OL” from the front panel.
•
Negative overload: “
-9.37
” or “–OL” from the front panel.
•
If a range change is in progress (due to the autoranging setting) when
you query the instrument, the value “
+9.37
” will be
returned. Wait for the instrument to select an appropriate range before
querying the instrument again.
N O T E
The range and resolution of the duty cycle measurement follow the
configuration of the AC voltage or the AC current function.
C A U T I O N
If the frequency signal measured is below 20 Hz, you must manually
set the range of the AC voltage or AC current measurement to acquire
a stable reading.
