Command Description
^C (CONTRL C) Causes =><CR><LF> to be output.
FORMAT <format> Set output <format> to 1 or 2.
Format 1 outputs measurement values without measurement units (VDC,
ADC, OHMS, etc.).
Format 2 allows measurement units to be output with measurement units.
(See Table 4-16.) Format 2 primarily is used with RS-232 print-only mode.
FORMAT? Returns the format in use (1 or 2).
PRINT <rate> Sets print rate for print mode. See Table 4-2.
SERIAL? Returns Meter’s serial number.
