SENSe:FUNCtion command provides a means of changing a function's parameters.
Other commands, such as INPut, SENSe, CALCulate, and TRIGger allow for more
detailed control of the Meter's parameters.
The CONFigure command does not initiate a measurement and will need to be followed
by READ? command, or the INITiate and FETCh? commands.
CONFigure[:SCALar][:<function>] [<range |MIN|MAX|DEF> or <RTD type> or <low
current>][,<resolution |MIN|MAX|DEF> or <high voltage>]]
Description Sets the Meter function with the preset parameters (See Table 18) and
The dc portion of the function keyword is optional, as is the VOLTage
portion. For instance, CONF:AC will be interpreted by the Meter as
meaning Volts ac function.
Parameters <function> =
You must specify a range whenever specifying a resolution parameter.
40
configure the Meter using the specified range and resolution. This
command must be followed by a READ? command, or the INITiate and
FETCh? commands to cause the Meter to take a measurement. For the
temperature function, the range variable is replaced by the RTD type
variable.
