Event Time Stamping (59551A Only)
5-92 Operating and Programming Guide
Reading Time Stamps ____________________________________
59551A
This query outputs data from the one specified time stamp measurement buffer
(or Time Tag input). This query does not clear the buffer. Each time stamp
provides the year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds,
microseconds, nanoseconds, and TFOM (Time Figure of Merit).
Expanded Syntax
:SENSe:DATA? "TSTamp 1" or "TSTamp 2" or "TSTamp 3"
Response
If the format is ASCii (the default format), the response is a sequence of
comma-separated integers.
If the format is INTeger, the response is BINARY Data (see Table B-3, in
Appendix B, “Command Syntax and Style,” in this guide for details).
To determine which format is selected, use query :FORmat:DATA?.
Parameter
Use "TSTamp 1" or "TSTamp 2" or "TSTamp 3" to select one input at a time:
• "TSTamp 1" outputs the data from Time Tag 1 input buffer.
• "TSTamp 2" outputs the data from Time Tag 2 input buffer.
• "TSTamp 3" outputs the data from Time Tag 3 input buffer.
Context Dependencies
:SYSTem:PRESet clears the time stamp measurement buffers and overflow
counts.
Time stamps are not collected until after the Receiver has completed its
powerup, and has reached initial lock to GPS.
Time stamps are not collected while the user is reading/clearing or otherwise
accessing the time stamp buffers.
