Frequency
Meter returns the function selected for the primary display as
command mnemonic.
EXAMPLE: If frequency is selected for the primary display,
"FUNC1?" returns "FREQ".
Meter returns the function selected for the secondary display as
command mnemonic. If the secondary display is not in use, an
Execution Error is generated.
EXAMPLE: If frequency is selected for the secondary display,
FUNC2? returns "FREQ".
