114 Multimeter Command Reference Chapter 3
SAMPle
The SAMPle command subsystem operates with the TRIGger command subsystem.
The
SAMPle subsystem designates the number of readings (count) made for each
trigger signal received.
Subsystem Syntax SAMPle
:COUNt <
number>|MIN|MAX
:COUNt? [MIN|MAX]
:COUNt
SAMPle:COUNt <number>|MIN|MAX designates the number of readings per
trigger.
Parameters
Comments • MINimum sets 1 reading per trigger. MAXimum sets 50,000 readings per
trigger.
• If MAX or 50,000 is specified for number, the command executes without
error. When an
INIT is executed requiring readings to be stored in internal
memory, an “Insufficient memory” error is generated to show that the number
of readings exceeds the memory available. However, you can execute
READ?
which returns the readings to the output buffer and does not use internal
memory.
• A number >50,000 returns Error -222, “Data out of range”.
• CONFigure and MEASure set the sample count to 1.
• *RST Condition: SAMP:COUN 1
Example Set the Sample Count
CONF:VOLT:DC
Function: DC voltage.
TRIG:SOUR EXT
Trigger source is external BNC on multimeter
front panel.
SAMP:COUN 10
Specify 10 readings per trigger.
READ?
Place multimeter in wait-for-trigger state;
make measurement when external trigger is
received; send readings to output buffer.
enter statement
Enter readings into computer.
