CALCulate:AVERage:MINimum:TIME?

Syntax

CALCulate:AVERage:MINimum:TIME? [(@<ch_list>)]

Description

This command returns the time (in full time and date format) when the minimum reading was taken on each of the specified channels during the scan. Each channel must be a channel that has been configured to be part of the scan list. If you omit the optional <ch_list> parameter, this command applies to the internal DMM, independent of any channels or a scan list.

Used With:

  • 34921A through 34925A Multiplexer Modules

  • 34950A Digital I/O Module (digital input and counter channels only)

  • 34952A Multifunction Module (digital input and totalizer channels only)

Parameters

Name

Type

Range of Values

Default Value

<ch_list>

Numeric

One or more channels in the form (@sccc).

If <ch_list> is omitted, this command applies to the internal DMM.

Remarks

  • You can read the values at any time, even during a scan. An error is generated if the internal DMM is disabled (see INSTrument:DMM[:STATe] command) or not installed in the mainframe.

  • This command is not affected by the FORMat:READing:TIME:TYPE command which selects the time format for storing scanned data in memory (absolute time versus relative time).

  • If you omit the optional <ch_list> parameter, this command returns the time of the minimum reading was taken by the internal DMM, independent of any channels or a scan list. The calculation starts when the internal DMM is triggered.

  • The instrument clears the stored statistical data on all channels when a new scan is started, when the CALCulate:AVERage:CLEar command is executed, after a Factory Reset (*RST command), or after an Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command).

Return Format

The command returns one string for each channel specified indicating the time and date when the minimum reading was taken. Multiple responses are separated by commas. If no data is available for the specified channels, zeroes are returned for each field.

The string returned has the form yyyy,mm,dd,hh,mm,ss.sss:

yyyy

is the year

mm

is the month

dd

is the day of the month

hh

is the hour in 24-hour format

mm

is the minutes

ss.sss

is the seconds (with 1 ms resolution)

For example:

Example

The following query returns the time when the minimum readings were taken on channels 1 and 3 in slot 1.

CALC:AVER:MIN:TIME? (@1001,1003)

Typical Response:  2004,11,21,10,03,10.314,2004,11,21,10,07,11.364
