5.3 Remote Interface Commands

You can instruct the multimeter to take measurements using the SCPI
commands after the appropriate setup for your selected remote
interface.
The following conventions are used in SCPI command syntax. Triangle
brackets (<>) indicates that you must specify a value for the enclosed
parameter. The square brackets ([]) indicates that the parameter is
optional and can be omitted. The braces ({}) enclose the parameter
choices for a given command string. A vertical bar (|) separates several
choices for a parameter.
The MEASure? Command
Although it does not offer much flexibility, using the MEASure? Command
is the simplest way to program the multimeter for measurements. You
select the measurement function, range and resolution, the multimeter
automatically sets the other parameters for you, make the measurement
and send the result to the output buffer.
MEASure:
VOLTage:DC? {<range>|MIN|MAX|DEF},{<resolution>|MIN|MAX|DEF}
VOLTage:DC:RATio? {<range>|MIN|MAX|DEF },{<resolution>|MIN|MAX|DEF}
VOLTage:AC? {<range>|MIN|MAX|DEF},{<resolution>|MIN|MAX|DEF}
CURRent:DC? {<range>|MIN|MAX|DEF},{<resolution>|MIN|MAX|DEF}
CURRent:AC? {<range>|MIN|MAX|DEF},{<resolution>|MIN|MAX|DEF}
RESistance? {<range>|MIN|MAX|DEF},{<resolution>|MIN|MAX|DEF}
FRESistance? {<range>|MIN|MAX|DEF},{<resolution>|MIN|MAX|DEF}
FREQuency? {<range>|MIN|MAX|DEF},{<resolution>|MIN|MAX|DEF}
