Use :INITiate:FETCh? or :READ? to make and query a measurement.
Parameters (other than <source_list>) can be defaulted by
substituting the keyword DEFault. The <source_list> parameter can
be defaulted by omitting it. The default values are specified by the
particular function description.
This command defaults several Counter settings. To change the
function only, while leaving all other Counter settings as they are, use
[:SENS]:FUNC[:ON].
If an <expected_value> parameter is outside the measurement
capabilities of the Counter model, an error is generated, and the
command does not execute.
For :POWer, <resolution> must be defaulted or set to 0.01[dB].
See "Descriptions of the Measurement Functions" on page 4-16 for a
description of each of the measurement functions.
See Table 4-2 for a summary of the <function>, <parameters>, and
<source_list> for each of the measurement functions.
A string of the form: "<function> <parameters>[,<source_list>]." The
leading colon is omitted from the <function>.
The response is unaffected by *RST, recall, and [:SENS]:FUNC.
If the instrument state has changed through commands other than
:CONFigure or the :MEASure query, the instrument does not track
these changes, and the query response does not reflect these changes.
For :POWer, <resolution> must be defaulted or set to 0.01[dB].
