CONFigure Subsystem
CONFigure Subsystem
The CONFigure commands are used with several other commands to
control the measurement process. The full set of commands are
described in the section “MEASure Group of Commands” on page 255.
Selecting measurements with the CONFigure/FETCh/MEASure/READ
commands sets the instrument state to the defaults for that
measurement and to make a single measurement. Other commands are
available for each measurement to allow you to change: settings, view,
limits, etc. Refer to:
SENSe:<measurement>, SENSe:CHANnel, SENSe:CORRection,
SENSe:DEFaults, SENSe:DEViation, SENSe:FREQuency,
SENSe:PACKet, SENSe:POWer, SENSe:RADio, SENSe:SYNC
CALCulate:<measurement>, CALCulate:CLIMits
DISPlay:<measurement>
TRIGger
The INITiate[:IMMediate] or INITiate:RESTart commands will initiate
the taking of measurement data without resetting any of the
measurement settings that you have changed from their defaults.
Configure the Selected Measurement
:CONFigure:<measurement>
A CONFigure command must specify the desired measurement. It will
set the instrument settings for that measurements standard defaults,
but should not initiate the taking of data. The available measurements
are described in the MEASure subsystem.
NOTE If CONFigure initiates the the taking of data, the data should be
ignored. Other SCPI commands can be processed immediately after
sending CONFigure. You do not need to wait for the CONF command to
complete this 'false' data acquisition.
Configure Query
:CONFigure?
The CONFigure query returns the name of the current measurement.
