Query Syntax

:JOBS:RESults:MEASure:USER:FORMatted? <Job ID>, "<Measurement Name>"

Where <Job ID> is an integer that represents the Job ID.

Where <Measurement Name> is an string that is the measurement name returned by the Instrument driver.

Description

Returns the formatted measurement result for the specified user measurement name and Job ID. If the specified Job ID does not exist in the current Job Results, the query returns the value 9.91E+37 NaN (Not-a-Number). The returned measurement is a float that is formatted. For example, 1.68 dB. To return an unformatted version of the measurement result, use the :JOBS:RESults:MEASure:USER? query.

The <Measurement Name> is returned to FlexOTO along with the measurement results in response to FlexOTO automatically sending the measure command to the instrument driver. FlexDCA also uses the name to label measurement in the column heading on the Job Results panel. The user measurement's name is defined in the Instrument driver and this exact name must be passed in this command argument.

Example

This example Python script returns the "User TDECQ" measurement that is performed by a measurement instrument. Job ID number 8, the associated Fixture name and Lane number is returned along with raw measurement results and formatted measurement results.

The output from this script would look similar to this:

Fixture: FIXT1
Lane: LAN4
Results: 1.10000000000000
Results (formatted): "1.10 dB"
