Return String:
Returns a measured reading.
Description:
This command combines all of the other signal oriented measurement commands to perform a “one
time” measurement and acquire the reading.
When this command is sent, the following commands execute in order:
:ABORt
:CONFigure:<function>
:READ?
When :ABORt is executed, if continuous initiation is disabled, the instrument goes into the idle
state. If continuous initiation is enabled, the operation re-starts at the beginning of the Trigger
Model.
When :CONFigure is executed, the instrument goes the selected measurement mode.
When :READ? is executed, another :ABORt is performed, then an :INITiate, and finally a FETCh? to
acquire the reading.
