ABM-4082
This command will be automatically asserted when :READ? or :MEASure? command is sent.
READ? Command
Command syntax:
:READ?
Description:
Typically, this command is used with the instrument in the "one-shot" measurement mode to trigger and
acquire a specified number of readings. The:SAMPle:COUNt command is used to specify the number
of readings (seeTrigger Subsystem). Note that the readings are stored in the buffer.
When this command is sent, the following commands execute in the order that they are presented:
:ABORt
:INITiate
:FETCh?
When :ABORt is executed, if continuous initiation is disabled, the instrument goes into the idle state. If
continuous initiation is enabled, the operation re-starts at the beginning of the Trigger Model.
If the instrument is in the idle state, :INITiate takes the instrument out of the idle state. If continuous
initiation is enabled, (:INITiate:CONTinuous ON), then the :INITiate command generates an error and
ignores the command.
See the :FETCh? command for more details. Note that an "Init ignored" error will not cancel the
execution of the :FETCh? command.
NOTE: You cannot use the :READ? command if sample count >1 (see Trigger Subsystem) and
there are readings stored in the buffer (error -225, out of memory). Either set sample
count to one or clear the buffer.
