What's the difference between Fetch and Measure in the NI-DCPower .net library?

NIDCPower.Measurement has a "Fetch" and "Measure" method, along with the associated async methods.  

 

What's the difference betwen Fetch and Measure, and where can I find the documentation on it?

Curtis,

 

The Fetch call is used to grab measurements that are already in the buffer, such as those that are read based on triggers. Measure is used to take a simple measurement.

 

The documentation is not specific to .NET and can be found in the NI DC Power Supplies and SMUs 15.2 Help specifically when looking at the Programming with NI-DCPower section. The Programming states subsection and the individual function definitions have brief explanations of this that are easy to miss.

 

An (in my opinion) easier to read version of this documentation installs with the DCPower driver at C:\Program Files (x86)\IVI Foundation\IVI\Drivers\niDCPower\Documentation\English\NI_DC_Power_Supplies_Help.chm

 

Thanks,

Alex W.
