SCPI Signal oriented measurement commands

The signal oriented measurement commands are used to acquire readings. You can use these
high-level instructions to control the measurement process. These commands are summarized in
Table 5-1.

:CONFigure? Query the selected function.
This command configures the instrument for subsequent measurements on
the specified function. Basically, this command places the instrument in a
"one-shot" measurement mode. You then use the :READ? command to trig-
ger a measurement and acquire a reading (see :READ?).
When this command is sent, the Model 2000 will be configured as follows:
• The function specified by this command is selected.
• All controls related to the selected function are defaulted to the *RST val-
ues.
• Continuous initiation is disabled (:INITiate:CONTinuous OFF).
