MEASure Group of Commands
Measurement settings persist if you initiate a different measurement
and then return to a previous one. Use READ:<measurement>? if you
want to use those persistent settings. If you want to go back to the
default settings, use MEASure:<measurement>?.

Measurement Group of Commands
Configure Commands
:CONFigure:<measurement>
This command stops the current measurement and sets up the
instrument for the specified measurement using the factory default
instrument settings. It does not initiate the taking of measurement
data. This command also turns the averaging function on, sets the
number of averages to 10 for all measurements and sets the
measurement to single mode.
The CONFigure? query returns the current measurement name.
Fetch Commands
:FETCh:<measurement>[n]?
This command puts selected data from the most recent measurement
into the output buffer (data acquisition is not initiated, however). Use
the INITiate[:IMMediate] command to acquire data before you use the
FETCh command. You can only fetch results from the measurement
that is currently selected.
