Using The Sense Subsystem To Configure The Meter - Fluke 8845A Manual

Using the SENSe Subsystem to Configure the Meter

Setting Meter functions and function parameters are controlled through the SENSe
subsystem of commands. Both primary and secondary display functions are set using the
FUNCtion commands. The parameters of each Meter function are also controlled through
this subsystem of commands.
[SENSe]:FUNCtion[1/2] "<function>"
Description Sets the Meter to the measurement function listed in the function
parameter. The function must be enclosed in quotes in the command string
(e.g. FUNC "VOLT:DC").
Parameters [1/2]
<function> =
Examples FUNC "VOLT:DC"
FUNC1 "VOLT:DC"; FUNC2 "VOLT:AC" Dual function command
Query FUNCtion[1/2]?
FUNC2? will return the measurement mode selected for the secondary
display (assuming its been enabled using the FUNC2 command). FUNC1?
or FUNC? will return the measurement mode for the primary display.
Notes [1] Using FUNC without a 1 or 2 will default to 1 for the primary display.
[2] Valid only when used with FUNC2.
[3] Valid only when used with FUNC or FUNC1.
[SENSe:]<function>
The SENSe subsystem allows configuring the Meter's functions.
Parameters <function> =
[1]
= Use 1 for primary display, and 2 for secondary display
