Command Syntax

:MEASure:OSCilloscope:VTIMe:TIMe  <time>

<time> is a double.

Query Syntax

:MEASure:OSCilloscope:VTIMe:TIMe?

Description

Specifies the time at which the Amplitude-at-Time measurement is made. Use the :MEASure:OSCilloscope:VTIMe to make the measurement.

Measurement Ready?

To confirm that the measurement is ready to read, you can query the measurement's status:

if ('CORR' in Flex.query(':MEASure:OSCilloscope:VTIMe:TIMe:STATus?')):
	measurement = Flex.query(':MEASure:OSCilloscope:VTIMe:TIMe?')

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:OSCilloscope:VTIMe:TIMe:COUNt?). The technique uses the :COUNt? common measurement query. For example,

if (Flex.query(':MEASure:OSCilloscope:VTIMe:TIMe:COUNt?') >= Flex.query(':ACQuire:ECOUNt?')):
	measurement = Flex.query(':MEASure:OSCilloscope:VTIMe:TIMe?')

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?.

Child Commands

:LOCation? returns the index for the measurement's displayed results. The index is used to select, clear, or remove the measurement result.

:SOURce specifies the source waveform on which to perform the measurement.

:STATus? queries the measurement status.

:STATus:REASon? query to determine why a measurement failed.
