Boonton 9240 Series RF Voltmeter
5.5.10 READ Queries
The purpose of the READ? group of queries is to initiate a measurement cycle, acquire data, and return specific measurement
data. READ? performs the initiation, data acquisition, postprocessing, and data output portions of the measurement. READ?
is equivalent to ABORting any operation in progress, INITiating a new measurement, then FETChing the data when it is
ready. READ? generally does not return data unless acquisition is complete. Since READ? INITiates a new measurement
every time it is issued, READ? queries should not be used for free running data acquisition (INITiate:CONTinuous ON) - in
this case, use FETCh queries instead. The measurement is generally considered complete when the integration filter (see
SENSe:FILTer) is filled.
READ:CW:VOLTage?
