Details
This command makes a measurement using the specified function and stores the reading in a
reading buffer.
If you do not define the function parameter, the instrument uses the presently selected measure
function. If a digitize function is presently selected, an error is generated.
This query makes the number of readings specified by
[:SENSe[1]]:COUNt
. When you use a
reading buffer with a command or action that makes multiple readings, all readings are available in
the reading buffer. However, only the last reading is returned as a reading with the command.
If you define a specific reading buffer, the reading buffer must exist before you make the
measurement.
To get multiple readings, use the
:TRACe:DATA?
command.
