:ELCH:RUN 1 

 

Reading: 

 

 

:ELCH:RUN? 

 

 

 

The measurement can also be started in triggered mode, that means you only start a 

new measurement on the next step by the next query of a measured value: 

Thus the user can affect measurement speed by the read frequency of measured 

values, and also can stop the measurement interactively if limits of measured values 

are reached. 

 

Programming: 

 

 

:ELCH:RUN 2 

 

Reading: 

 

 

:ELCH:RUN? 

 

If the ELCH function is running in continuous mode at that moment, this command of 

course triggers a short interruption in the measurement sequence. 

 

 

The command: 

 

:ELCH:TRIG? 

 

Starts the measurement for the next step and reads the measured value 

 

 

The order: 

 

 

:ELCH:RUN 0 

 

Will stop the measurement and discard the block function ELCH.
