5.3.1 Measurement mode
The following three measurement modes are available:
(1) Single mode
A measurement is performed only once. Averaging measurements are made
by the specified number of averaging times (number of measurements).
(2) Continuous mode
A measurement in Single mode is repeated unless the measurement stop condi-
tion is met by pressing
Stop
, etc.
(3) Synchronous single mode (for remote control only)
This mode is only for remote control. A measurement is performed in the sin-
gle mode. If the measurement is started with SWP command, the next com-
mand is not processed until the measurement finishes. This can prevent from
returning the response of the measurement result before the measurement com-
pletion.
