:MEASure:EYE:PAM:LEVel

Command Syntax

:MEASure:EYE:PAM:LEVel

Query Syntax

:MEASure:EYE:PAM:LEVel?

Description

Measures all amplitude levels of a PAM eye diagram. On NRZ signals, this measurement will measure the zero or one levels. Before sending this command, select the actual level to be measured using the :MEASure:EYE:PAM:LEVel:LEVel child command. To measure all the levels on a signal, you must send this command once for each level as there is no command for simultaneously measuring all levels. The query form of the command returns the measured value.

Use the :MEASure:EYE:PAM:LEVel:SOURce command to specify the real-time eye diagram on which to make the measurement.
