MEASure
subsystem commands
The MEASure subsystem commands sets the measurement range of voltage, frequency and time.
Figure 8-13 shows the MEASure subsystem command tree.

:FREQuency <start>,<end>
:TIME <start>,<end>

The :VOLTage command sets the measurement range of voltage. The :VOLTage? query returns the
current voltage range.
Command syntax: MEASure:VOLTage <upper>,<lower>
Where,
<upper> is the upper limit of voltage, NR1 format, ranging from 1 to 255 without unit.
<lower> is the lower limit of the voltage, NR1 format, ranging from 1 to 255 without unit.
For example: WrtCmd( “MEAS:VOLT 1,199” ); set the voltage to range from 1 to 199.
NOTE: The lower limit must be less than the upper one; otherwise an error message will be
displayed on the system message line.
Query sntax: MEASure:VOLTage
？
Return format: <upper>,<lower><NL^END>
Both upper limit and lower limit are NR1 format.
The :FREQuency command sets the frequency range. The :FREQuency? query returns the
currently set frequency range.
Command syntax: MEASure:FREQuency <start>,<end>
Where,
<start> is the start point of frequency, NR1 format and ranging from 1 to 600 without unit.
<end> is the end point of frequency, NR1 format and ranging from 1 to 600 without unit.
For example: WrtCmd( “MAES:FREQ 100,200” ); set the frequency to range from 100 to 200.
NOTE: The value of the end point must be larger than that of the start point; otherwise an
error message will be displayed on the system message line.
NOTE: The measurement ranges of frequency and time are the same, thus the time range
will vary with the frequency range.
Query syntax: MEASure:FREQuency
？
Return format: <start>,<end><NL^END>
Both <start> and <end > are NR1 format.
