display measurement display on screen of Tektronix tds5034 OScilloscope

[syrpimp]

I am  collecting data from Oscilloscope with Tektronix TDS 5034. I have a problem on displaying a measurement diplay on its screen, I dont know the proper query to use, is there anyone out there know how to display such thing? I already read the programming guide but i can't find any command. or if there is can you show me just the "query" to show it on oscilloscope screen, because right know i mannualy go to measurement setup of osc. just to show them

Thank you..

I'm certain the instrument driver has a measurement function that you can use. Please turn on Context Help so that you can see the function's description. I'm also certain that the commands are listed in the manual.

If you are not using the drivers, then you want to look for the MEAS subsystem in the command manual.  I know they are all there for the TDS3000 series.  I doubt the commands are different for the TDS5000 series.

Hi Sir,

I read again the manual and found this;

Measurement Command Group

Use the commands in the Measurement Command Group to control the automated measurement system. Up to eight automated measurements can be displayed on the screen. In the commands, these measurement readouts are named MEAS<x>, where <x>  can be 1 through 8. In addition to the eight displayed measurements, the measurement commands let you specify an additional measurement, IMMed. The immediate measurement has no front-panel equivalent. Immediate measurements are never displayed. Because they are computed only when needed, immediate measurements slow the waveform update rate less than displayed measurements. Whether you use displayed or immediate measurements, use the VALue? query to obtain measurement results. Measurement commands can set and query measurement parameters. You can assign some parameters, such as waveform sources, differently for each measurement. Other parameters, such as reference levels, have only one value, which applies to all measurements.

"MEAS<x>, where <x>"  can be 1 through 8

iam planning to query like (MEAS1~8) and see what happen and check the equevalent value behind those number to screen if it will display.

if it will not appear then i try to dig deeper. hahaha

I hope i can do it tommorow i'am out of work now ,

thanks crossrulz and Dennis_Knutson for the input.

No Luck... I hope someone will help me.. 🙂

Are you or are you not using the driver? It should be displaying the measurement on the pc's screen just like it displays the waveform.

It's not enough to just say 'no luck'. That statement has zero useful information. Attach code and the error message you get.

I have this Programming manual but i cannot figure out the correct query,  

I just tried this query, but give me error instead to expecting the display on osc screen, ;), i also try to add CH<x> before MEASUrement:MEAS1:TYPe AMPlitude;

but i recieve error in VISA Write code:-1073807339

Please go to Help> Find Instrument Drivers and download the driver for your scope.

Its' now working, the query is working... I just restart my Oscilloscope, and no error on visa write.I now command to display waht measurement i want to display,

I can also clear display on OSC screen .. thanks

i  already figure out The measurement which specified by x, that ranges from 1 through 8 ; these are the number of measurements you want to display on osc screen,

MEASUrement:MEAS<x>

eg. MEASUrement:MEAS1:TYPe MAXimum - 1st dispaly you want to show on screen

       MEASUrement:MEAS2:TYPe FREQuency - 2nd dispaly and so on.

 as  P@Anand said "The best solution is the one you find it by yourself"

KUDOS! AL IZZ Well...
