ROUTe:MONitor:DATA?

Syntax

ROUTe:MONitor:DATA?

Description

This command reads the data from the channel currently selected for the Monitor mode (ROUTe:MONitor[:CHANnel] command) or from the internal DMM. One reading is returned each time this command is executed.

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)

Remarks

  • Each reading is returned with measurement units, time stamp, channel number, and alarm status information (independent of the present settings by the FORMat:READing commands). The time stamp is stored in absolute time format (time of day with date), which is based on the instrument's real-time clock as set by the SYSTem:DATE and SYSTem:TIME commands.  

  • Use the ROUTe:MONitor:MODE command to select whether the Monitor mode uses a module channel or the internal DMM.

  • If the Monitor mode is not currently enabled, this command returns the result from the previous Monitor operation.

  • Readings acquired during a Monitor are not stored in memory but they are displayed on the front panel; however, all readings from a scan in progress at the same time are stored in memory.

Return Format

The command returns one reading for the Monitor channel. If no data is available for the specified channel, "0" is returned for each field.

For example:

1  Reading with Units (26.195 °C)

4  Channel Number

2  Date (November 21, 2004)

3  Time of Day (3:30:23.000 PM)

5  Alarm Limit Threshold Crossed
    (0 = No Alarm, 1 = LO, 2 = HI)

 

Example

The following command returns one reading from the Monitor channel.
