Measurement Commands - Keysight N432A Programming Manual

MEASurement Commands

Measurement commands are high-level commands used to acquire data. They
enable you to trade interchangeability against fine control of the measurement
process.

MEASure?
CONFigure
READ?
FETCh?
[a] INITiate is described in
CONFigure, FETCh?, READ?, and MEASure? all have a numeric suffix which refers
to a specific window/measurement. The figure below shows an example of the
configuration returned result windows.
Keysight N432A Programming Guide
Description
Provides the simplest way to program the N432A for measurements.
MEASure? is a compound command which is equivalent to a CONFigure
followed by a READ?. It does not enable much flexibility or control over
measurement settings.
Used to change the N432A configuration values. CONFigure must then be
followed by another command which takes the measurement, for example,
[a]
followed by FETCh?.
INITiate
Takes a measurement using parameters previously set up using either
CONFigure or lower-level commands. READ? is equivalent to an
INITiate (which performs the data acquisition) and a FETCh?.
Retrieves measurements taken by INITiate.
