Time Stamp
The B1500 can record the time when the measurement is started, and sends the time
data (Time). This function is enabled by the TSC command. The time data will be
sent just before the measurement data.
For example, in the staircase sweep measurements, the data will be as shown below.
Block1 [,Block2] . . . . <terminator>
where, BlockN (N: integer) = Time1,Data1 [,Time2,Data2] ... [,Source_data], then
TimeN (N: integer) is the time from timer reset to the start of DataN measurement.
The timer count is cleared/reset by the TSR command (Time=0).
The time stamp function is not available for the following measurements.
• High speed spot measurement
• Quasi-pulsed spot measurement (MM9)
• Linear search measurement (MM14)
• Binary search measurement (MM15)
