Agilent Technologies 34401A - Using MEASure? for Single Measurement

Using MEASure? for a Single Measurement
The following example uses the MEASure? command to make a single
ac current measurement. This is the easiest way to program the
multimeter for measurements. However, MEASure? does not offer much
flexibility. The example is shown in BASIC and QuickBASIC.
10 REAL Rdg
20 ASSIGN @Dmm TO 722
30 CLEAR 7 ! Clear GPIB and dmm
40 OUTPUT @Dmm; "*RST" ! Reset dmm
50 OUTPUT @Dmm; "*CLS" ! Clear dmm status registers
60 OUTPUT @Dmm; "MEASURE:CURRENT:AC? 1A,0.001MA" ! Set to 1 amp ac range
70 ENTER @Dmm; Rdg
80 PRINT Rdg
90 END
GPIB Operation Using BASIC
REM $Include "QBSetup"
DEV&=722
INFO1$="*RST"
LENGTH1%=LEN(INFO1$)
INFO2$="*CLS"
LENGTH2%=LEN(INFO2$)
INFO3$="MEASURE:CURRENT:AC? 1A,0.001MA"
LENGTH3%=LEN(INFO3$)
Call IOCLEAR(DEV&)
Call IOOUTPUTS(DEV&, INFO1$, LENGTH1%)
Call IOOUTPUTS(DEV&, INFO2$, LENGTH2%)
Call IOOUTPUTS(DEV&, INFO3$, LENGTH3%)
Call IOENTER(DEV&,Rdg)
Print Rdg
