Setting parameters for the MinMax function sets some parameters,
N O T E
including hidden parameters, for the stability and logging functions and
vice versa. You must use the
:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:PARameter:MINMax command to set
parameters before you start a MinMax function using the
:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:STATe command.
:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:PARameter:MINMax
:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:PARameter:MINMax<wsp>
CONTinous|WINDow|REFResh,<data points>
Sets the MinMax mode and the number of data points for the
MinMax data acquisition function.
CONTinous:
WINDow:
REFResh:
Data Points is the number of samples that are recorded in the memory buffer used by the
WINDow and REFResh modes. Data Points is an integer value.
See Chapter 3 of the Agilent 8163A/B Lightwave Multimeter, Agilent 8164A/B Lightwave
Measurement System, & Agilent 8166A/B Lightwave Multichannel System User's Guide, for
more information on MinMax mode.
See ":SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:STATe" on page 100 for information on start-
ing/stopping a data acquisition function.
See ":SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:RESult?" on page 97 for information on accessing
the results of a data acquisition function.
See "Triggering and Power Measurements" on page 171 for information on how triggering
affects data acquisition functions.
