SENSe:FUNCtion command provides a means of changing a function’s parameters.
Other commands, such as INPut, SENSe, CALCulate, and TRIGger allow for more
detailed control of the Meter’s parameters.
The CONFigure command does not initiate a measurement and will need to be followed
by READ? command, or the INITiate and FETCh? commands.
CONFigure[:SCALar][:<function>] [<range |MIN|MAX|DEF> or <RTD type> or <low
current>][,<resolution |MIN|MAX|DEF> or <high voltage>]]
Description Sets the Meter function with the preset parameters (See Table 18) and
configure the Meter using the specified range and resolution. This
command must be followed by a READ? command, or the INITiate and
FETCh? commands to cause the Meter to take a measurement. For the
temperature function, the range variable is replaced by the RTD type
variable.
Note
The dc portion of the function keyword is optional, as is the VOLTage
portion. For instance, CONF:AC will be interpreted by the Meter as
meaning Volts ac function.

<range> = a number between the upper and lower limits of the
function.
MIN Lowest range of the function
MAX Highest range of the function
DEF Autorange
<low current> = ON or 1 Sets diode current to 0.1 mA
OFF or 0 Sets diode current to 1 mA.
<low voltage> = ON or 1 Sets diode voltage to 5 volts
OFF or 0 Sets diode voltage to 10 volts.
<resolution> = a number in the same units, not in number of digits, as
the measurement function,.
MIN Smallest value acceptable
MAX Largest value acceptable
DEF 5½ digits
Note
You must specify a range whenever specifying a resolution parameter.
