The status of the current measurement can be queried by means of the following command:
| FETCh status | FETCh:<meas_obj>:STATus?
Returns the current status of the measurement. The |
| <Status> | The first parameter in the response reports on the current status of the measurement. The measurement status returned is closely linked to the four measurement states described in section Measurement Control Commands and States: |
| OFF | measurement in the OFF state after *RST or ABORt |
| RUN | measurement in the RUN state after INITiate, CONTinue,
or READ |
| STOP | measurement in the STOP state after STOP (stopped
explicitly) |
| STEP | measurement in the STEP state due to <Stepmode>
= STEP, valid measurement results |
| RDY | measurement in the STOP state because stopped according to the repetition mode and stop condition set. |
| ERR | measurement in the OFF state because it could not be started
with INITiate or READ for lack of resources,
e.g. because the RF connectors were already in use by another measurement.
|
| <Counting_No> | The second parameter in the response returns the current value of the statistics counter (the number of the current statistics cycle) if the measurement is performed in the Counting mode: |
| 0 ... 10000 | number of the current statistics cycle |
| NONE | no counter for statistics cycles used, i.e. a repetition mode other than Counting is set. |
| <Statistic_No> | The third parameter in the response returns the number of the current evaluation period (e.g. a burst length in the case of GSM Power vs Time or Modulation measurements) within a statistics cycle. For RF Non Signalling Measurements this counter is not used (response NONE). |
