Remote operation
Commands that use the
<n>
parameter can use the
MINimum
and
MAXimum
name parameters.
MIN
selects the minimum value and
MAX
selects the maximum value.
Use the following commands to select the function (frequency or period), set a measure range, set
resolution, and perform a measurement:
FUNCtion "FREQuency"
Select frequency function
FUNCtion "FREQuency[:VOLT]"
Select frequency function (voltage input)
FUNCtion "FREQuency:CURR"
Select frequency function (current input)
FUNCtion "PERiod"
Select period function
FUNCtion "PERiod[:VOLT]"
Select period function (voltage input)
FUNCtion "PERiod:CURR"
Select period function (current input)
FREQuency:VOLTage:RANGe <n>
Set AC voltage range for frequency function
FREQuency:CURRent:RANGe <n>
Set AC current range for frequency function
PERiod:VOLTage:RANGe <n
>
Set AC voltage range for period function
PERiod:CURRent:RANGe <n
>
Set AC current range for period function
<n>
= 0 to 750
Expected AC voltage level of the signal
<n>
= 0 to 10
Expected AC current level of the signal
FREQuency:VOLTage:RANGe:AUTO <b>
Frequency autorange for voltage input
FREQuency:CURRent:RANGe:AUTO <b>
Frequency autorange for current input
PERiod:VOLTage:RANGe:AUTO <b>

= 0 or OFF
Enable autorange
= 1 or ON
Disable autorange
READ?
Perform measurement and acquire reading
Measurement configuration commands can also be used to perform measurements. Use the
following commands to select a function (frequency or period), set measure range, set measurement
resolution, perform a measurement, and acquire the reading.
MEASure:FREQuency? <range>, <resolution>
MEASure:PERiod? <range>, <resolution>
<range>
= 0 to 750
Expected AC voltage level of the signal
Resolution is ignored for frequency and period.
