SAMPle
The SAMPle command subsystem operates with the TRIGger command subsystem.
The
SAMPle subsystem:
Designates the number of readings made for each trigger signal received
(
SAMPle:COUNt).
Selects the pacing source for the sample period (
SAMPle:SOURce).
Sets the sample period when the sample count is greater than one (
SAMPle:TIMer).
Subsystem Syntax SAMPle
:COUNt <number>
:COUNt? [MIN | MAX]
:SOURce <source>
:SOURce?
:TIMer <period>
:TIMer? [MIN | MAX]
:COUNt
SAMPle:COUNt <number> designates the number of readings per trigger.
Parameters
Parameter Name Parameter Type Range of Values Default Units
<number>
numeric 1 - 16,777,215 | MIN | MAX none
Comments •
MINimum
sets 1 reading per trigger. MAXimum sets 16,777,215 readings per
trigger.
• If MAX or 16,777,215 is specified for number, an “Out of memory” error is
generated to show that memory is exceeded. However, you can execute
READ?
to return the readings to the output buffer.
•
CONFigure
and MEASure set the sample count to 1.
• *RST Condition: SAMP:COUN 1
Example Setting the Sample Count
CONF:VOLT:DC !Function: DC voltage; stand-alone
multimeter.
TRIG:SOUR EXT !Trigger source is external BNC on
multimeter front panel.
SAMP:COUN 10 !Specify 10 readings per trigger.
