:MEASure:MARea
Syntax 1
:MEASure:MARea [<chan>]
Description 1
Measures the area of the specified source channel.
Syntax 2
:MEASure:MARea? [<chan>]
Description 2
Measures and queries the area of the specified source channel. The default unit is volt-second.

Remarks
Area: The horizontal axis denotes time and the vertical axis denotes waveform amplitude. The
oscilloscope calculates the area (namely the integral of the time and amplitude) of the waveform
within the current measurement range (refer to the :MEASure:AREA command).
Before making measurements, turn on the channels to be measured.
When the math operation type is FFT (refer to the :CALCulate:MODE command), <chan> cannot be
set to "MATH".
When [<chan>] is omitted, the command, by default, applies to the currently set measurement source
(refer to the :MEASure:SOURce command).
Return Format
The query returns the measurement results in scientific notation. When the measurement results are
invalid, the query returns 9.9e37.

results.
