Measurement Subsystem (Power) Commands
This subsystem programs the power measurement capability of the ac source.
Two measurement commands are available: MEASure and FETCh. MEASure
triggers the acquisition of new measurement data before returning a reading.
FETCh returns a reading computed from previously acquired data.
For Keysight 6811C/6812C/6813C Option 020 only, all standard ac source
MEASure or FETCh functions are available for the Main Output of the ac source as
well as the Power Analyzer input. The SENSe:NSELect command selects the
measurement source that will return data.
Subsystem syntax
MEASure | FETCh
MEASure:POWer?
FETCh:POWer?
These queries return the DC component of the power being sourced at the output
terminals in watts.
