13-2 SCPI Signal Oriented Measurement Commands
The signal oriented measurement commands are used to acquire readings. You can use these
high level instructions to control the measurement process. These commands are summarized in
Table 13-1.

Query
:CONFigure?
Description
This command configures the instrument for subsequent measurements on the specified
function. Note that the input channel does not change. For example, if TEMP2 (Channel 2) is
presently selected, sending CONFigure:VOLT selects DCV2 (Channel 2).
This command places the instrument in a "one-shot" measurement mode. You can then use
the :READ? command to trigger a measurement and acquire a reading (see :READ?).
When this command is sent, the Model 2182 will be configured as follows:

Description
Places the Model 2182 in a "one-shot" measurement mode for
the specified function.
Requests the latest reading.
Performs an :ABORt, :INITiate, and a :FETCh?.
Performs an :ABORt, :CONFigure:<function>, and a :READ?.
Appendix H provides additional information on the measurement query commands.
This appendix describes what each command does, its limitations, and appropriate
situations for its use.

Query the selected function.
The function specified by this command is selected. Input channel remains the same.
All controls related to the selected function are defaulted to the *RST values.
Continuous initiation is disabled (:INITiate:CONTinuous OFF).
The control source of the Trigger Model is set to Immediate.
The count values of the Trigger Model are set to one.
The delay of the Trigger Model is set to zero.
The Model 2182 is placed in the idle state.
All math calculations are disabled.
