Query
:CONFigure?
Description
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
trigger a measurement and acquire a reading (see :READ?).
When this command is sent, the Model 2016 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 values.
• Continuous initiation is disabled (:INITiate:CONTinuous OFF).
• The control source of the Trigger Model is set to Immediate.
• The count values of the Trigger Model are set to one.
• The delay of the Trigger Model is set to zero.
• The Model 2016 is placed in the idle state.
• All math calculations are disabled.
• Buffer operation is disabled. A storage operation currently in process will
be aborted.
• Autozero is set to the *RST default value.
• All operations associated with switching cards (scanning) are disabled.
This command is asserted when the :MEASure? command is sent.
