INITiate:CONTinuous?
Returns “0” (OFF) or “1” (ON).
READ[:FRESistance|:TEMPerature|:TCOMpensate]?
Triggers and returns a measurement. It is identical to INITiate, followed by
FETCh?. See the FETCh? command above, for use of additional functions.
This command is not available when the CONTinuous triggering mode is “on”, nor
when DATAlogging mode is “on”, in which cases, an “execution error” will be
generated and the error value returned.
ABORt
Stops the current measurement and clears the input and output buffers.
ABORt works for RS-232 only. If sent in IEEE-488 mode, it will generate a
“command error”.
4.4 Data Operation Commands
DATAlogger Group
These commands store and retrieve measurement values using the data logging
memory. This memory is non-volatile and can store up to 4000 readings. When the
datalog mode is enabled, triggering is controlled by the special DATAlogger
commands.
The usual READ?, INITiate and *TRG commands are not available and will generate
an “execution error”.
DATAlogger:CLEAr
Clears the datalog memory. Take care; all the current stored values will be lost!
DATAlogger:COUNt <
No. of readings
>
Sets the maximum number of readings to be stored. Valid range is 1 to 4000.
DATAlogger:COUNt?
Returns the maximum number of readings to be stored.
DATAlogger:STATe <ON|OFF> or <1|0>
Enables or disables the datalog function. When turned on, triggering is controlled
by STARt, STOP and STEP, and all readings are sent to the datalog memory.
DATAlogger:STATe?
Returns “0” (OFF) or “1” (ON).
DATAlogger:STARt
Forces the continuous measuring mode, with all readings being sent to the
datalog memory. Readings are stored sequentially up to the value set by COUNt.
To start the log at location 1, use CLEAr first.
If the log has reached the COUNt val ue, any further STARt commands will
generate an “execution error”, and the command will be ignored.
(For the DO5001 model operating on battery power, continuous mode is not
available, and DATAlogger:STARt will cause an “execution error” to be
generated).
DATAlogger:STOP
Forces the microhmmeter to ‘STOP’ mode. The current measurement is aborted.
If the log has not reached the COUNt value, STARt or STEP can be used to
continue the log from this point.
