NOTE
Each item in the list must be separated by a comma (i.e., :ELEMents, VOLTage,
CURRent, RESistance).
Query
:ELEMents?
This command is used to specify the elements to be included in the data
string in response to the following queries:
:FETCh?
:READ?
:MEASure?
:TRACe:DATA?
You can specify from one to all five elements. Each element in the list
must be separated by a comma (,). These elements (shown in
18-1) are explained as follows:
NOTE An overflow reading reads as +9.9E37.
VOLTage — This element provides the voltage measurement or the pro-
grammed voltage source reading. If sourcing voltage and measuring
voltage, this element will provide the voltage measurement (measure
reading takes priority over source reading). If voltage is not sourced or
measured, the NAN (not a number) value of +9.91e37 is used.
CURRent — This element provides the current measurement or the
programmed current source reading. If sourcing current and measuring
current, this element will provide the current measurement (measure
reading takes priority over source reading). If current is not sourced or
measured, the NAN (not a number) value of +9.91e37 is used.
RESistance — This element provides the resistance measurement. If
resistance is not measured, the NAN (not a number) value of +9.91e37
is used.
TIME — A timestamp is available to reference each group of readings
to a point in time. The relative timestamp operates as a timer that starts
at zero seconds when the instrument is turned on or when the relative
