Introduction to
The commands in the MEASure subsystem are used to make parametric
:MEASure measurements on displayed waveforms.
Commands
Measurement Setup
To make a measurement, the portion of the waveform required for that
measurement must be displayed on the oscilloscope screen.
Measurement Type
period, duty cycle, or frequency
pulse width
rise time
fall time
Measurement Error
If a measurement cannot be made (typically because the proper portion of
the waveform is not displayed), the value +9.9E+37 is returned for that
measurement.
Making Measurements
If more than one waveform, edge, or pulse is displayed, time
measurements are made on the portion of the displayed waveform closest
to the trigger reference (left, center, or right).
