Data Transfer Commands

OUTR? [ DAT1 | DAT2 | DAT3 | DAT4 | j ]

The

OUTR? j

query returns the value of data channel j.

The value of j (0

–

3) corresponds to the

DAT1

(green),

DAT2

(blue),

DAT3

(yellow) and

DAT4

(orange) data channels.

Example

OUTR? DAT2

Returns the value of data channel 2 (blue)

OUTR? 1

OUTP? [ j ]

The

OUTP? j

query returns the value of a single lock-in parameter. The argument j

selects the parameter according to the table below. The enumeration strings may be used
instead of the integer value j.

The parameter list is

Example

OUTP? 1

Returns the value of Y

OUTP? Y

SNAP? [ j, k ] { , l }

The

SNAP?

query returns the values of 2 or 3 parameters at a single instant. For example,

SNAP?

is a way to query values of X and Y (or R and θ) which are taken at the same

time. This is important when the time constant is very short. Using the

OUTP?

OUTR?

commands will result in time delays, which may be greater than the time constant,
between reading X and Y.

The

SNAP?

command requires at least two arguments and at most three. The arguments

j, k, l select the lock-in parameters as listed above (see

OUTP?

). The enumeration strings

may be used instead of the integer values for j, k, l.

Example

SNAP? 0,1,4

Returns the values of X, Y and Aux In1

SNAP? X, Y, IN1
