Vpp - HP 54501A Programming Reference Manual

VPP
VPP
command/query
The MEASURE:
VPP
command places the instrument in the continuous
measurement mode and
starts
a
VPP
measurement.
The VPP query measures the maximum and minimum voltages for the
selected source, then calculates the peak-to-peak voltage and outputs that
value.
The
peak-to-peak voltage (Vpp)
is calculated with the formula:
Vpp
=
Vmax
-
Vmin
where Vmax and Vmin
are the
maximum
and minimum voltages present
on the selected
source.
Command

:MEASure:vpp?
Returned Format: [:MEASure:vpp]
<vaiue>

Where:
< value > ::
=
voltage peak to peak (exponential
-
NR3 format)
Example:
DIM Vp$[50]
OUTPUT 707;":MEAS:VPP?"
ENTER 707;Vp$
PRINT Vp$
