Step 3: Set Measurement Parameters

The following information provides additional details on Step 3 of the Programming Flowchart. This
information is applicable to all test applications.

Description

In this step you set up the conditions under which the measurements operate. You do this by configuring
measurement parameters.

Measurement Parameters Overview
There are two different types of measurement parameters:
• Generic Measurement Parameters
• Measurement-Specific Measurement Parameters
The SETup subsystem is used to configure measurement parameters. Each individual measurement
parameter can be set and queried using the associated SETup subsystem command. The general hierarchy of
the SETup subsystem command structure is as follows:
SETup:<measurement mnemonic>:<measurement parameter> <parameter setting/value>
Not all measurements use all measurement parameters. Refer to the GPIB syntax listing for the
NOTE
detailed list of measurement parameters for individual measurements.
