MEASure? Examples
The MEAS? command is the easiest way to trigger a measurement and return the reading. For example,
the following command triggers a measurement for the present measurement function, range, and
resolution, and sends the reading to the output buffer.
MEAS?
You can specify the measurement function, range, and resolution withe the MEAS? command. For
example:
MEAS:RES? 1000,3.0e-05
BUS Triggering Example
The following command selects the bus (software) trigger source. Note that the *TRG command will not be
accepted unless the instrument is in the "wait-for-trigger" state (INIT command).
TRIG:SOUR BUS
INIT
*TRG
FETC?
Note: Attempting to use the READ? command with BUS triggering, generates an error.
CONFigure + INITiate + FETCH? Example
The following program segment shows how to use the FETCh? command with the CONFigure and INITiate
commands. CONFigure sets the trigger source to immediate. The
instrument in the "wait-for-trigger" state. Since the trigger source is immediate, the measurement is made
following execution of the INIT command. The FETCh? command retrieves the reading from the
instrument's output buffer.

CONFigure + READ? Example
The following program segment shows how to use the READ? command with the CONFigure command.
CONFigure sets the trigger source to immediate. Sending the READ? command is similar to sending the
INITiate command followed immediately by the
the measurement is made following execution of the READ? command.
