=head1 NAME

Lab::Instrument::Agilent34410A - HP/Agilent/Keysight 34410A or 34411A digital multimeter

=head1 VERSION

version 3.880

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use Lab::Instrument::Agilent34410A;
 my $multimeter = Lab::Instrument::Agilent34410A->new(%options);

 print $multimeter->get_value();

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The Lab::Instrument::Agilent34410A class implements an interface to the 34410A
and 34411A digital multimeters by Agilent (now Keysight, formerly HP).

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new(%options)

This method is described in L<Lab::Measurement::Tutorial> and
L<Lab::Instrument>.

=head2 get_value()

Perform data aquisition.

 my $value = $multimeter->get_value();

=head2 get_error()

 my ($err_num, $err_msg) = $agilent->get_error();

Query the multimeter's error queue. Up to 20 errors can be stored in the
queue. Errors are retrieved in first-in-first out (FIFO) order.

=head2 reset()

 $agilent->reset();

Reset the multimeter to its power-on configuration.

=head2 assert_function($keyword)

Throw if the instrument is not in one of the operating modes given in
C<$keyword>. See L<Lab::SCPI> for the keyword syntax.

=head2 set_function($function)

Set a new value for the measurement function of the Agilent34410A.

C<$function> can be one of the measurement methods of the Agilent34410A.

	"current:dc" --> DC current measurement
	"current:ac" --> AC current measurement
	"voltage:dc" --> DC voltage measurement
	"voltage:ac" --> AC voltage measurement
	"resistance" --> resistance measurement (2-wire)
	"fresistance" --> resistance measurement (4-wire)

=head2 get_function()

Return the used measurement function.

=head2 set_range($range)

Set the range of the used measurement function to C<$range>.

C<RANGE> is given in terms of amps, volts or ohms and can be C<-3...+3A | MIN | MAX | DEF | AUTO>, C<100mV...1000V | MIN | MAX | DEF | AUTO> or C<0...1e9 | MIN | MAX | DEF | AUTO>.
C<DEF> is default C<AUTO> activates the C<AUTORANGE-mode>.
C<DEF> will be set, if no value is given.

=head2 get_range()

Return the range of the used measurement function.

=head2 get_autorange()

Return non-zero, if autoranging is enabled.

=head2 set_nplc($nplc)

Set a new value for the predefined C<NUMBER of POWER LINE CYCLES> for the
used measurement function.

The C<NUMBER of POWER LINE CYCLES> is actually something similar to an integration time for recording a single measurement value.
The values for C<$nplc> can be any value between 0.006 ... 100 but internally the Agilent34410A selects the value closest to one of the following fixed values C< 0.006 | 0.02 | 0.06 | 0.2 | 1 | 2 | 10 | 100 | MIN | MAX | DEF >.

Example:
Assuming C<$nplc> to be 10 and assuming a netfrequency of 50Hz this results in an integration time of 10*50Hz = 0.2 seconds for each measured value.

NOTE:
1.) Only those integration times set to an integral number of power line cycles (1, 2, 10, or 100 PLCs) provide normal mode (line frequency noise) rejection.
2.) Setting the integration time also sets the resolution for the measurement. The following table shows the relationship between integration time and resolution.

	Integration Time (power line cycles)		 Resolution
	0.001 PLC  (34411A only)			30 ppm x Range
	0.002 PLC  (34411A only)			15 ppm x Range
	0.006 PLC					6.0 ppm x Range
	0.02 PLC					3.0 ppm x Range
	0.06 PLC					1.5 ppm x Range
	0.2 PLC						0.7 ppm x Range
	1 PLC (default)					0.3 ppm x Range
	2 PLC						0.2 ppm x Range
	10 PLC						0.1 ppm x Range
	100 PLC 					0.03 ppm x Range

=head2 get_nplc()

Return the value of C<nplc> for the used measurement function.

=head2 set_resolution($resolution)

Set a new resolution for the used measurement function.

Give the current value C<RANGE> of the current range,
C<$resolution> is given in terms of C<$resolution * RANGE> or C<[MIN|MAX|DEF]>.
C<$resolution=0.0001> means 4 1/2 digits for example.
$resolution must be larger than 0.3e-6xRANGE.
The best resolution is range = 100mV ==> resoltuion = 3e-8V
C<DEF> will be set, if no value is given.

=head2 get_resolution()

Return the resolution of the used measurement function.

=head2 set_tc($tc)

Set a new value for the predefined C<INTEGRATION TIME> for the used measurement
function.

C<INTEGRATION TIME> $tc can be C< 1e-4 ... 1s | MIN | MAX | DEF>.

NOTE:
1.) Only those integration times set to an integral number of power line cycles
(1, 2, 10, or 100 PLCs) provide normal mode (line frequency noise) rejection.
2.) Setting the integration time also sets the resolution for the
measurement. The following table shows the relationship between integration
time and resolution.

	Integration Time (power line cycles)		 Resolution
	0.001 PLC  (34411A only)			30 ppm x Range
	0.002 PLC  (34411A only)			15 ppm x Range
	0.006 PLC					6.0 ppm x Range
	0.02 PLC					3.0 ppm x Range
	0.06 PLC					1.5 ppm x Range
	0.2 PLC						0.7 ppm x Range
	1 PLC (default)					0.3 ppm x Range
	2 PLC						0.2 ppm x Range
	10 PLC						0.1 ppm x Range
	100 PLC 					0.03 ppm x Range

=head2 get_tc()

Return the C<INTEGRATION TIME> of the used measurement function.

=head2 set_bw($bw)

Set a new C<BANDWIDTH> for the used measurement function, which must be
C<VOLTAGE:AC> or C<CURRENT:AC>.

C<$bw> can be C< 3 ... 200Hz | MIN | MAX | DEF>.

=head2 get_bw()

Return the bandwidth of the used measurement function, which must be
C<VOLTAGE:AC> or C<CURRENT:AC>.

=head2 config_measurement

	old style:
	$agilent->config_measurement($function, $number_of_points, <$time>, <$range>);

	new style:
	$agilent->config_measurement({
		'function' => $function,
		'nop' => $number_of_points,
		'time' => <$time>,
		'range' => <$range>
		});

=head2 trg()

 $agilent->trg();

Sends a trigger signal via the C<GPIB-BUS> to start the predefined measurement.
The LabVisa-script can immediatally be continued, e.g. to start another
triggered measurement using a second Agilent34410A.

=head2 get_data($readings)

reads all recorded values from the internal buffer and returnes them as an array of floatingpoint values.
reading the buffer will start immediately. The LabVisa-script cannot be continued until all requested readings have been recieved.

=over 4

=item <$readings>

C<readINGS> can be a number between 1 and 50.000 or 'ALL' to specifiy the number of values to be read from the buffer.

=head2 display_text($text)

Display C<$text> on the front panel. The multimeter will display up to 12
characters in a message; any additional characters are truncated.

Without parameter, the displayed message is returned.

=head2 display_on()

=head2 display_off()

Turn the front-panel display off.

=head2 display_off
