[SENSe:]FREQuency:RANGe:LOWer
Syntax
[SENSe:]FREQuency:RANGe:LOWer {<timeout>|MIN|MAX|DEF} [, (@<ch_list>)]
[SENSe:]FREQuency:RANGe:LOWer? [{(@<ch_list>)|MIN|MAX}]
Description
The instrument uses three different timeout ranges for frequency measurements. The instrument selects the slow (3 Hz), medium (20 Hz), or fast (200 Hz) measurement timeout based on the input frequency that you specify with this command for the selected channels. 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
Parameters
Name |
Type |
Range of Values |
Default Value |
<timeout> |
Discrete |
{3|20|200} MIN = 3 Hz (slow), MAX = 200 Hz (fast) |
20 Hz (medium) |
<ch_list> |
Numeric |
One or more channels in the form (@sccc). |
If <ch_list> is omitted, this command applies to the internal DMM. |
Remarks
Applies to frequency measurements only.
For the <timeout> parameter, specify the lowest frequency expected in the input signal on the specified channels. The instrument selects the appropriate measurement timeout based on the frequency you specify.
Input Frequency |
Timeout |
3 Hz to 300 kHz (Slow) |
1 second |
20 Hz to 300 kHz (Medium) |
100 ms |
200 Hz to 300 kHz (Fast) |
10 ms |
If you omit the optional <ch_list> parameter, the configuration applies to the internal DMM, independent of any channels or a scan list (any existing scan list is not redefined). An error is generated if the internal DMM is not installed or is disabled.
The CONFigure and MEASure? commands automatically select the 20 Hz (medium) timeout.
The instrument selects the medium timeout (20 Hz) after a Factory Reset ( *RST command). An Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command) or Card Reset (SYSTem:CPON command) does not change the setting.
Return Format
The query command returns "3" (slow), "20" (medium), or "200" (fast) for each channel specified. Multiple responses are separated by commas.
Examples
The following command selects the slow filter (3 Hz) on channel 3 in slot 1.
FREQ:RANG:LOW 3,(@1003,1013)
The following query returns the timeout settings on channels 3 and 13 in slot 1.
FREQ:RANG:LOW? (@1003,1013)
Typical Response: 3,3
