measure - Probe Measurement¶

Usage:

- command: measure <channel> [<signal>|<rail>] <range> [<reference>]
  [extractKey: <key>]
  [retry: <retryCount>]
  [ground: <ground>]
  [with:
    [- disableAutoRange]]

Argument	Description
channel	Measurement channel
signal	DDTPxx/RDTPxx probe for `pin` or DATPxx/DDTPxx probe for DMM-based measurement
rail	Power Rail for `currentDMM` measurement
range	Acceptable range
reference	Reference voltage for `impedance` measurement (optional, default: 5V)
key	Key in which to store the measurement results (optional)
retryCount	Number of times to retry the test step (optional)
ground	Measurement reference ground (optional)
with	Additional command parameters. (optional) disableAutoRange - Turn off DMM auto-ranging for this measurement. Available for `voltageDMM` and `currentDMM` channels.

Note

For the voltageDiff channel, 2 signal names must be provided, separated with a -. For example: DATP00-DATP01 for a differential measurement between DATP00 and DATP01.

The following measurement channels are only available on the PLT-300A, but not on the PLT-200A:

channel	Description

`current1V8`	1V8 current draw, using ADC
`currentDMM`	Current, using DMM
`voltageDATP00`	DATP00 voltage, using ADC
`voltageDATP01`	DATP01 voltage, using ADC
`voltageDATP02`	DATP02 voltage, using ADC
`voltageDATP03`	DATP03 voltage, using ADC

DMM-based measurements (capacitance, currentDMM, resistance, voltageDMM) can be performed for the following probes:

signal	Description

`DDTP00`…`DDTP08`	Direct Digital Test Probe #0…#8
`RA`	`RA` MUX signal

For DMM-based measurements, the PLT-300A allows measurements to be taken against a specific ground signal. This can be requested by adding a ground: <ground> field to the measure command, with the following supported values:

ground	Description
`GND`	PLT System ground (default)
`GND1`	DUT Ground #1
`GND2`	DUT Ground #2
`GND3`	DUT Ground #3
`GND4`	DUT Ground #4
`1V8OUT`	1.8V supply
`3V3OUT`	3.3V supply
`5VOUT`	5V supply
`VARVOUT`	VARV supply
`RVREF`	RVREF mux signal
