Set up the battery application using SCPI commands

The SCPI code in this example sets the 2450 to the source voltage function and measure current
function. The voltage source is set to 1 V and the source limit is set to 460 mA. The voltage, current,
and relative timestamp values are returned. Measurements are made until the voltage reaches the set
level.
You may need to change the current and voltage levels so that they are appropriate for the battery
you are testing.
In the following example code, notice that some of the code is labeled as "Pseudocode." The code
you use for the pseudocode lines will vary based on the programming environment you use.
Send the following commands for this example application.
