CALCulate:AVERage:MINimum:TIME?
CALCulate:AVERage:MAXimum:TIME?
Syntax
CALCulate:AVERage:MINimum:TIME? [(@<ch_list>)]
CALCulate:AVERage:MAXimum:TIME? [(@<ch_list>)]
Description
These queries return the time that the minimum or maximum reading was taken on the specified channels during the scan (in full time and date format). Each channel must be a multiplexer, digital input or totalizer channel that has been configured to be part of the scan list.
Parameters
Name Type Range of Values Default Value <ch_list> Channel List One or more channels, as shown:
(@310) - channel 10 on the module in slot 300.
(@305:310) - channels 05 through 10 on the module in slot 300.
(@202:207,209,302:308) - channels 02 through 07 and 09 on the module in slot 200 and channels 02 through 08 on the module in slot 300.
If you omit the optional <ch_list> parameter, this command applies to the currently defined scan list.
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 command) or not installed in the mainframe.
- 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).
- 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).
Return Format
For each channel, the query returns the time in the form yyyy,mm,dd,hh,mm,ss.sss. For example, 2009,10,03,14,35,06.215 would mean October 3, 2009 at 2:35:06.215 PM.
Example
The following query returns the time of the minimum reading on channels 03 and 04 on the module in slot 100.
CALC:AVER:MIN:TIME? (@103:104)
Typical Response: 2009,12,20,08,39,27.283,2009,12,20,08,39,28.011
