Power-on control = ON.
Default control = ON.
The message parameter is the message to be displayed. The message may contain
spaces, numerals, lower or upper case letters, and any of the following characters:

Direct-Sampling. Configures the multimeter for direct-sampled measurements
(digitizing). The DSAC function measures only the AC component of the input
waveform. The DSDC function measures the combined AC and DC components.
Otherwise, the two functions are identical. The DSAC and DSDC functions use
the track/hold circuit (2 nanosecond aperture) and a wide bandwidth input path
(12 MHz bandwidth).

DSDC [max._input] [,%-resolution]
Selects the measurement range. (You cannot use autorange for direct-sampled
measurements). To select a range, you specify max._input as the input signal's
expected peak amplitude. The multimeter then selects the correct range. The
