Creates a DMM configuration with the pertinent attributes based on the selected function
and associates it with the specified name.
dmm.configure.set(config)
config: A string with the name for the DMM configuration being created.
If the configuration specified is being used for an existing DMM configuration, then that
configuration will be overwritten with the new configuration settings, if no errors occur.
The previous configuration associated with config will be lost. All channels that have this
configuration as their associated DMM configurations now will start using the new
attribute settings.
This command creates a copy of the selected function along with its pertinent settings to
volatile memory to be recalled later when desired. If a DMM setting is not pertinent it will
not be stored. Therefore, creating a configuration with dcvolts set as the function will not
store the temperature settings. A DMM configuration has only one function associate
with it and enough settings information to support that function and no more.
An error will be generated if the name being used to create a configuration corresponds
to a factory default configuration.
If the specified name already exists then that configuration will be overwritten with the
new information and the previous configuration will be lost.
Executing a dmm.configure.set on an existing DMM configuration will invalidate an
existing scan list (the DMM configuration may or may not be used in the current scan
list). If the configuration being created does not already exist, the scan list will not be
invalidated.
The maximum number of characters for a named configuration is 30. An error will be
generated if the number of characters in config parameter is greater than 30.
These are not persistent through a power cycle. Implementation overwrites.
