Data Functions Keys - HP 8924C Reference Manual

DATA FUNCTIONS Keys

Guidelines for Using Measurement Data Functions
The DATA FUNCTIONS keys can be divided into two groups; those which affect
measurements (REF SET, METER, AVG, HI LIMIT and LO LIMIT), and those
which affect numeric entry fields (INCR
down-arrow). For measurements, the data functions enable the programmer to
change the way measurements are calculated and displayed, and provide
measurement limit detection. For numeric entry fields, the data functions enable
the programmer to set, scale, and change the field's increment value.
Refer to the "Number Measurement Syntax"
chapter of the HP 8924C Condensed Programming Reference Guide for full
command syntax.
• Data functions are turned ON and OFF for individual measurements. The HP-IB Data
Function commands must immediately follow the HP-IB command for the individual
measurement. For example, to turn the AVG data function ON for the AF Analyzer
distortion measurement, the following command string would be sent to the Test Set:
OUTPUT 714;"MEAS:AFR:DISTN:AVER:STAT ON"
• Attribute Units (AUNits) are used with the data functions to specify the units-of-
measure for numeric data which is read or set through HP-IB.
Refer to "To Specify Units-of-Measure for HP-IB Data Transfer"
chapter of
Overview the HP 8924C User's Guide.
• Data function settings, such as number of averages or reference value, are retained if
the function is turned off. The setting values are initialized or changed under the
following conditions:
• The Test Set is turned off.
• The Test Set is PRESET.
• A saved register is recalled.
