Using MEASure and CONFigure Commands
Each time the multimeter makes a measurement, it does so from a
configuration based on several parameters. The easiest way to set these
parameters is with the
MEASure and CONFigure commands:
MEASure:measurement?
[range|AUTO|DEF|MIN|MAX[,resolution|DEF|MIN|MAX]][,(@channel_list)]
CONFigure:
measurement
[range|AUTO|DEF|MIN|MAX[,resolution|DEF|MIN|MAX]][,(@channel_list)]
MEASure:TEMPerature? transducer,type[,(@channel_list)]
CONFigure:TEMPerature transducer,type[,(@channel_list)]
Executing these high-level commands is equivalent to setting up the
multimeter with the commands shown in Table 4-1 on page 77. Note that
specifying a channel list identifies a scanning multimeter. No channel list
identifies a stand-alone multimeter.
Note If a channel list is the only parameter specified in the MEASure or
CONFigure command, it must be separated from the command header by a
space, rather than a comma (e.g.
MEAS:VOLT:DC? (@100)).
