ST2516 Series Operation Manual 

51 

 

 

Query Syntax: COMParator: LOWer? 
Return format: the format and unit of < Lower threshold ><NL^END> are the same as above. 
 
The  :COMParator:REFerence  command sets the reference resistance  of the instrument 
comparator function. 
The :COMParator:REFerence? query returns to the current reference resistance. 
Command syntax: 

COMParator: REFerence<Reference Resistance> 

Where,   

< Reference Resistance >  = 0 to 2.2E+6 (NR3) the reference resistance of the 

comparator functio

n    unit: ” Ω”

 

For example: WrtCmd(“COMP:REF  20E+3”); Set the reference resistance  of the instrument 
comparator fun

ction as 20kΩ.

 

 
Query Syntax: COMParator: REFerence? 
Return format: the format and unit of < Reference Resistance ><NL^END> are the same as above. 
 
The :COMParator:PERCent command sets the tolerance of the instrument comparator function. 
The :COMParator:PERCent? query returns to the current tolerance. 
Command syntax: 

COMParator:PERCent<Tolerance(%)> 

Where, < Tolerance(%) > = 0 to 99.999 (NR2)    the tolerance of the comparator function  

unit: ”%” 

For example: WrtCmd(“COMP:PERC  10”); Set the tolerance of the instrument comparator 
function as 10%. 
 
Query Syntax: COMParator: PERCent? 
Return format: the format and unit of < Tolerance(%) ><NL^END> are the same as above. 
 
The :COMParator:RESult command querys the last comparator result of the instrument. 
Query Syntax: COMParator: RESult? 
Return format: < HI, IN, LO, OFF or ERR> <NL^END> 
Where, 

      HI: it indicates that the measurement result is greater than the upper boundary of 

the comparator 

      IN: it indicates that the measurement result is between the upper and lower 

boundary of the comparator 

      LO: it indicates that the measurement result is less than the lower boundary of the 

instrument 

   

OFF: it indicates that the comparator function is “OFF” 

        ERR:  it indicates that the comparator function is “ON”, but there exists the 

measurement error.
