Statistics
Displays the scanned memory readings of a selected channel in statistics format (Maximum, Minimum, Peak to Peak,
Average, and Standard Deviation). Toggle between Statistics to display the per-channel statistics and Pk Times to
display the time of occurrence of the per-channel minimum and maximum peak readings.
View the alarm queue
In View menu page, press the Alarms softkey to display the first 20 alarms, including the reading and time stamp, in
the alarm queue. You are only able to view this alarm queue when the alarm limit is configured on the selected
channel by pressing [Alarm] key on the front panel. See
[Alarm] Menu
for more details.
View the error queue
In View menu page, press Errors to display up to the 20 errors in the error queue. Error annunciator,
is cleared
as you read them. When the front panel Error annunciator (ERR) turns on, one or more command syntax, execution,
or hardware errors have been detected. A record of up to 20 errors is saved in the instrument's error queue. Errors
are retrieved in first-in-first-out (FIFO) order. The first error returned is the first error that was saved. Errors are
cleared as you read them. When you have read all errors from the queue, the ERR annunciator turns off and the
errors are cleared. The instrument beeps once each time an error is generated. If more than 20 errors have occurred,
the last error saved in the queue (the most recent error) is replaced with "Error queue overflow". No additional errors
are stored until you remove errors from the queue. If no errors have occurred when you read the error queue, the
instrument responds with "No error".
