MEASure Group of Commands
If you need to change some of the measurement parameters from the
factory default settings you can set up the measurement with the
CONFigure command. Use the commands in the
SENSe:<measurement> and CALCulate:<measurement> subsystems
to change the settings. Then you can use the READ? command, or the
INITiate and FETCh? commands, to initiate the measurement and
query the results. See Figure 5-1.
If you need to repeatedly make a given measurement with settings
other than the factory defaults, you can use the commands in the
SENSe:<measurement> and CALCulate:<measurement> subsystems
to set up the measurement. Then use the READ? command or INITiate
and FETCh? commands, to initiate the measurement and query results.
Measurement settings persist if you initiate a different measurement
and then return to a previous one. Use READ:<measurement>? if you
want to use those persistent settings. If you want to go back to the
default settings, use MEASure:<measurement>?.

instrument for the specified measurement using the factory default
instrument settings. It does not initiate the taking of measurement
data.
The CONFigure? query returns the current measurement name.
