:MEASure:EYE:ECTime:STATus?
Query Syntax
:MEASure:EYE:ECTime:STATus?
Query Response
{CORR | INV | QUES}
- CORR
- The measurement result is correct.
- INV
- The measurement result is invalid. A question mark (?) is shown in the displayed results table instead of a measurement result.
- QUES
- The measurement result is questionable. A question mark (?) is shown in the displayed results table next to the measurement result.
Description
Queries the status of the ECTime measurement. Use the :STATus:REASon? child query to determine the reason for an invalid or questionable measurement. Additional information about the failure may be available using the :STATus:DETails? child query.
Measurement Ready?
To confirm that the measurement is ready to read, you can query the measurement's status:
if ('CORR' in Flex.query(':MEASure:EYE:ECTime:STATus:STATus?')):
measurement = Flex.query(':MEASure:EYE:ECTime:STATus?')
If averaging is turned on (:ACQuire:AVERaging), you can also confirm if the measurement result is ready by comparing the number of specified averages (:ACQuire:ECOunt?) versus the number of measurement sweeps that have occurred (:MEASure:EYE:ECTime:STATus:COUNt?). The technique uses the :COUNt? common measurement query. For example,
if (Flex.query(':MEASure:EYE:ECTime:STATus:COUNt?') >= Flex.query(':ACQuire:ECOUNt?')):
measurement = Flex.query(':MEASure:EYE:ECTime:STATus?')
You can also use an acquisition limit lest to test that a number of waveform samples, or pattern acquisitions have completed before returning a measurement. Refer to the :LTESt:ACQuire:CTYPe command.
Common Measurement Child Queries
This command supports the use of the following common measurement queries: :LOCation?, :COUNt?, :MAXimum?, :MINimum?, :MEAN?, and :SDEViation?.
