7.2.2.8 MEASure:CAPacitance?
Description:
Configure the instrument to make a capacitance measurement and immediately trigger the
measurement and send the measurement to the user. All other measurement parameters and trigger parameters are
set to default values
Syntax:
MEASure: CAPacitance? [{<range>|AUTO|MIN|MAX|DEF}]
Parameters:
<range>:{1n|10n|100n|1u||10u|100u|1m|10m}. Default: AUTO
Example:
MEAS: CAP? 10u
Typical response: +8.53210000E-06
7.2.3 TRIGger subsystem
7.2.3.1 ABORt
Description:
Terminates the measurement in progress and returns the instrument to the trigger idle state.
Syntax:
ABORt
Parameters:
(none)
Example:
Terminate the measurement in progress:
ABORt
7.2.3.2 INITiate
Description:
Changes the state of the trigger system from "idle" to "wait for trigger" and then clears the previous
set of measurement result from the reading memory. When the specified trigger condition is met after receiving
the INIT command, measurement will begin.
You can store up to 10,000 measurements in the reading memory of 1963/1953. If the reading memory overflows,
the new measured value will overwrite the oldest measured value and the latest measured value will always be
retained.
To retrieve measurements from the reading memory, use FETCh?.
Syntax:
INITiate
Parameters:
(none)
Example:
Return five DC voltage measurements and start the measurement using a software trigger:
CONF:VOLT:DC 10
TRIG: SOUR BUS
SAMP: COUN 5
INIT

FETC?
7.2.3.3 FETCh?
Description:
Wait for the measurement to complete and send all measurements to the user.
The FETCh? query does not erase the measurement results from the reading memory. You can send the query
