Phase Measurement Subsystem

This subsystem programs the voltage phase measurement capability of the MX/RS Series
source.

Subsystem Syntax

MEASure | FETCh
[:SCALar]

:PHASe?

Returns the output voltage phase angle for the
selected phase.

MEASure:PHASe?
FETCh:PHASe?

This query returns the output voltage phase angle for the selected phase in degrees. The
phase angle for phase A is 0 degree if internal sync is used (default). Phase B and C are
measured with respect to phase A. (relative phase angle with respect to A.)

The phase being measured or fetched is determined by the INST:NSEL command. The
phase selection must be set prior to sending the MEAS command. The Fetch version may
be used to obtain the readings for other phases without triggering a new measurement.

Note:

There is no equivalent command for querying the current phase
angles. However, the Harmonic measurement array function may be
used for this on 3Pi models. Select n = 1 to query the fundamental
phase angle of the current with respect to the voltage.
