Measurement Commands

Measurement commands consist of measurement and sense commands.
Two measurement commands are available: MEASure and FETCh. MEASure triggers the acquisition of
new data before returning the readings from the array. FETCh returns previously acquired data from the
array. Only input current and voltage are actually measured. Power is calculated from the stored voltage
and current data. The input voltage and current are digitized whenever a measure command is given or
whenever an acquire trigger occurs. The time interval of the measurement is set by
SENSe:SWEep:TINTerval, and the position of the trigger relative to the beginning of the data buffer is
determined by SENSe:SWEep:OFFSet.
Sense commands control the measurement range, the acquisition sequence, and the measurement
window of the electronic load.

ABORt

This command resets the measurement and list trigger systems to the Idle state. Any measurement or list
that is in progress is immediately aborted. ABORt also resets the WTG bit in the Operation Condition
Status register (see chapter 3 under "Programming the Status Registers"). ABORt is executed at power
turn-on and upon execution of *RCL, RST, or any implied abort command (see List Commands).
If INITiate:CONTinuous ON has been programmed, the trigger system initiates itself
NOTE:
immediately after ABORt, thereby setting the WTG bit.
