Setting Up Measurement Conditions and Display
Sample Program
The details of each part of the program are described below.

NOTE
In this example, the measurement range mode is set to the hold mode before the
measurement range is specified. However, in practice, you can omit the setup of the
measurement range mode because setting up the measurement range automatically
specifies the measurement range mode to the hold range.

Sets up the GPIB address.
Assigns the measurement condition setups (primary parameter: Cp,
secondary parameter: D, measurement signal frequency: 1 kHz,
measurement signal level: 500 mV, measurement range: auto range
mode, measurement time: long mode, cable length: 0 m, averaging
count: 4, and trigger delay time: 1 ms) to the Pri$, Sec$, Freq, Level,
Range$, Meas_time$, Cable, Ave, and Delay variables, respectively.
Assigns the display setups (result display: ON, the number of display
digits for the measurement result: 5, fixed point display: OFF,
deviation measurement mode for primary parameter: percentage
display, reference value for primary parameter: 10 nF, deviation
measurement mode for secondary parameter: OFF, reference value for
secondary parameter: 0, page number of the instrument setup display
area: 4) to the Disp$, Digit, Fix_msd$, Dev_mode_pri$, Dev_ref_pri,
Dev_mode_sec$, Dev_ref_sec, and Page_no variables, respectively.
Assigns the measurement signal level monitor setups (current monitor:
OFF, voltage monitor: ON, beep mode setup: FAIL, and save location
number: 9) to I_mon$, V_mon$, Beep_mode$, and Save_no variables,
respectively.
Executes a reset.
Specifies the primary parameter and secondary parameter as Pri$ and
Sec$, respectively.
Specifies the measurement signal frequency and measurement signal
level as Freq and Level, respectively.
If Range$ is "Auto," specifies the measurement range mode as the
auto range. Otherwise, specifies the measurement range mode as the
hold range and the measurement range as Range$.
Specifies the measurement time and cable length as Meas_time$ and
Cable, respectively.
Turns ON the averaging function and sets the averaging count to Ave.
Specifies the trigger delay time as Delay.
Specifies the ON/OFF of the result display and the number of display
digits for the measurement result as Disp$ and Digit, respectively.
If Fix_msd$ is "OFF," specifies the fixed point display as OFF.
Otherwise, specifies the fixed point display as ON and sets the value
of the highest digit to Fix_msd$.
