Measurement Commands - Keysight N1911A Programming Manual

MEASurement Commands

Measurement commands are high level commands used to acquire data. They
enable you to trade interchangeability against fine control of the measurement
process.

Descriptions
Provides the simplest way to program a power meter for measurements. MEASure? is a
compound command which is equivalent to an ABORT followed by a CONFigure and a READ?.
It does not enable much flexibility or control over measurement settings.
Used to change the power meter's configuration values. CONFigure must then be followed by
another command which takes the measurement—for example, a READ? followed by a FETCh?.
Takes a measurement using parameters previously set up using either CONFigure or lower
level commands. READ? is equivalent to an ABORt followed by an INITiate1 (which performs
the data acquisition) and a FETCh?
Retrieves measurements taken by INITiate
