Model 6485 Picoammeter Instruction Manual
SCPI Signal Oriented Measurement Commands
12-3
Programming example
— The following command sequence selects and configures
Model 6485 for “one-shot” measurements. Each subsequent READ? triggers a single
measurement and requests the reading.
CONF:CURR
' Perform CONFigure operations.
READ?
' Trigger measurement and request reading.
B) FETCh?
Request latest reading
This command requests the latest post-processed readings. After sending this command
and addressing Model 6485 to talk, the readings are sent to the computer. This command
does not affect the instrument setup.
This command does not trigger a measurement. The command simply requests the last
group of readings. Note that this command can repeatedly return the same readings. Until
there is a new reading(s), this command continues to return the old reading(s). If your
application requires a “fresh” reading, use the :READ? command.
This command is automatically asserted when the :READ? or :MEASure? command is
sent.
C) READ?
Trigger measurement(s) and request reading(s)
This command is used to trigger and acquire readings. The number of readings depends on
how the trigger model is configured. For example, if configured for 20 measurements (arm
count 1, trigger count 20), 20 sets of readings will be acquired.
When this command is sent, the following commands execute in the order they are pre-
sented:
•
INITiate
•
FETCh?
If the instrument is in the idle state, INITiate takes the instrument out of idle to perform
the programmed number measurements. If the instrument is not in the idle state, execution
of this command will wait until it goes back into idle.
The FETCh? command is executed to acquire the reading(s). The readings are sent to the
computer when Model 6485 is addressed to talk.
NOTE
If the instrument is programmed to perform an infinite number of measurements
(arm count or trigger count set to infinite), you cannot use the READ? command
to trigger and acquire readings. Use INITiate to start (trigger) the measurement
process, send ABORt to abort the measurement process, and then use
SENSe:DATA[:LATest]? to return the last (latest) reading.
