Sets/queries the New Measurement Results Ready (NMRR) status bits. Each measurement has an NMRR status bit. This setting allows you some additional optimization of measurement speed.
This bit is set when measurement results are available, and cleared when results are cleared (for example during a preset, measurement reset or an initiation of a measurement).
Updating this bit often causes an update within the hierarchy of the status registers, potentially causing a Service Request (SRQ) on one or more of the remote interfaces.
Although these updates are fast, a normal measurement cycle clears and sets this bit, for each of the remote interfaces. The total time therefore may add up to a substantial portion of the time required to make a measurement, especially if the measurement itself is very fast. In this instance you may want to set NMRR Status Bits to Inactive.
When it is set to Inactive all the NMRR Condition bits are set to zero and remain at zero until set back to Active.
Setting Range: ACTive | INACtive
*RST Setting: ACTive
Test Set Requirements: E6601A WCTS Program Version A.04 and above
Example:
' Sets the NMRR status register bits to inactive.
TestSet.WriteString("SYSTem:STATus:NMRR INACtive")
