Features and Functions
You will find that this chapter makes it easy to look up all the details
about a particular feature of the meter. Whether you are operating the
meter from the front panel or from the remote interface, this chapter will
be useful.
This chapter is divided into the following sections:
• General Measurement Configuration, page 55
• Voltage Measurement Configuration, page 66
• Resistance Measurement Configuration, page 68
• Temperature Measurement Configuration, page 71
• Math Operations, page 74
• Null (Relative) Operation, page 77
• Reading Hold, page 79
• Triggering, page 80
• System-Related Operations, page 90
• Voltmeter Complete Terminal, page 97
• External Trigger Terminal, page 97
• Chart Output (Analog Output) Operation, page 98
• Remote Interface Configuration, page 101
• Calibration, page 107
• Defaults, Power-On and Reset States, page 112
Some knowledge of the front-panel menu will be helpful before you read this
chapter. If you have not already read chapter 2, “Front-Panel Menu
Operation,” starting on page 29, you may want to read it now. Chapter 4,
“Remote Interface Reference,” starting on page 115, lists the syntax for the
SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) commands
available to program the meter.
Throughout this manual, the following conventions are used for SCPI
command syntax. Square brackets ( [] ) indicate optional keywords or
parameters. Braces ( {} ) enclose a list of parameters separated with a
vertical bar (|), use only one of the values . Triangle brackets ( <> )
indicate that you must substitute a value for the enclosed parameter.
The actual command string you send to the meter should not include
any of the conventions indicated above.
