RIGOL
Programming Guide for DM3058/DM3058E 6-11
Example 5: P/F Testing
Purpose: Use commands to perform a P/F test.
P/F operation prompts for the over range voltage signal according to upper/lower
limits, and gives a beep (if the beeper is open).
The programming implementations——RIGOL Commands
0 *RST
/* Reset the instrument */
1 cmdset rigol /* Select RIGOL commands */
2 *IDN?
/* Query the equipment ID and confirm if the
multimeter works normally */
3 /* Connect the test leads for DC voltage measurement */
4 :function:voltage:DC
/* Enable the DC voltage measurement */
5 :measure:voltage:DC <range> /* Set the measurement range */
6 :calculate:pf:lower <value1> /* Set the lower limit to value1*/
7 :calculate:pf:upper <value2> /* Set the upper limit to value2*/
8 :calculate:function pf /* Enable the pf operation */
9 :calculate:pf?
/* Query the measurement result */
10 /* Returned value */
11 :calculate:function none /* Exit calculation function */
Explanations:
1. The instrument should be connected under DC voltage mode before sending the
command in line 4.
2. Parameters in line 6 and 7 should be: value2 > value1, and both are within the
range.
3. The command in line 9 returns “PASS” if the input voltage is within the scope of
the upper and lower limits, or returns “FAIL” and a beeper is emitted if it is on.
