Simple measurement procedure (MEASure)

For simple measurement procedures, use the MEASure:VOTLage? query. When you use the MEASure:VOLTage? query, all measurement conditions except the range setting are set to default, and the measured data can be retrieved easily.

Example: |  |
CHAN:VOLT:NSEL 1 |  | 'Select logical channel 1.
MEAS:VOLT? |  | 'Start voltage scanning on all activated channels, and query the measured data of the selected channel.
Response example: 1.72000E00
Example2: |  |
MEAS:ARR:VOLT? |  | 'Start voltage scanning on all activated channels, and query the measured data of all activated channels.
Response example: 1.72000E00,1.69000E00,2.92000E00

Because the MEAS:VOLT? query inherently calls the CONFigure command, voltage measurement condition set as shown in Table 13.

Table 13 Voltage measurement condition set by MEAS

Setting | Command | Value
Voltage measurement range | VOLT:RANG | Specified value (AUTO when omitted)
Voltage protection (OVP) | VOLT:PROT | 200
Voltage protection (UVP) | VOLT:PROT:LOW | -2

The MEAS:VOLT? and CONF commands have parameters (can be omitted).

MEASure:VOLT? [<numeric>]
CONFigure:VOLT [<numeric>]

Specify the estimated range of the measured data in <numeric>.

If <numeric> is set to DEFault or is omitted, AUTO range is used.

The MEAS:VOLT? allows you to easily make measurements even if you do not have a detailed knowledge of the KFM2151. The down side is that all the settings related to the measurement functions are set to default. This prohibits you from setting detailed measurement conditions. To make measurements using setup conditions with a little more detail, use the CONF:VOLT command and READ? query.

The MEAS:VOLT? query is equivalent to combining the CONF:VOLT command and READ? query.
