User Manual
The following examples would cause an error as described:
•
:CALC:AVER:STATE ON;MEM:STATE ON<PMT> The second <PROGRAM MESSAGE UNIT> would
cause an error, since node "MEM" is not a sub-node of "CALC". The parser attempts to execute the
command ":CALC:AVER:MEM:STATE ON", which is illegal. The parser is unable to look at any nodes
closer to the root than node "CALC:AVER". Only the ":CALC:AVER:STATE ON" can be parsed
correctly.
•
:SYST:ERR?;COUN?<PMT> Although the ":SYST:ERR?" is equivalent to ":SYST:ERR:NEXT?",
default nodes in the tree shall not alter the header path of the parser, which means nothing can be
added to the header path when the default nodes is omitted. The parser attempts to execute the
second <PROGRAM MESSAGE UNIT> as "":COUN?", which is illegal. Only the ":SYST:ERR?" can
be parsed correctly. This command can be corrected as :SYST:ERR:NEXT?;COUN?<PMT>
<PMT> is used to indicate a < PROGRAM MESSAGE TERMINATOR >

Front Panel Measurement, Internal Trigger
In this scenario, it is desired to measure the resistance and/or voltage from the front panel input post
under internal triggering, without using any internal/external module. Below are three methods that
can be used.
1. Disable continuous initiation, READ one measurement
SWITch:MODule DISable
TRIGger:SOURce IMMediate
INITiate:CONTinuous OFF

Note
Configure the instrument to measure the signal from the front
panel input post without using internal/external switch channels.
Configure the trigger source to be internal.
Disable continuous measurement.
Acquire one measurement then return the reading (voltage
and/or resistance).
Acquire another measurement then return the reading (voltage
and/or resistance).
Configure the instrument to measure the signal from the front
panel input post without using internal/external switch channels.
Configure the trigger source to be internal.
Disable continuous measurement.
Initiate one measurement.
