Using the SENSe Subsystem to Configure the Meter
Setting Meter functions and function parameters are controlled through the SENSe
subsystem of commands. Both primary and secondary display functions are set using the
FUNCtion commands. The parameters of each Meter function are also controlled through
this subsystem of commands.
[SENSe]:FUNCtion[1/2] "<function>"
Description Sets the Meter to the measurement function listed in the function
parameter. The function must be enclosed in quotes in the command string
(e.g. FUNC “VOLT:DC”).
Parameters [1/2]
[1]
= Use 1 for primary display, and 2 for secondary display
<function> = CAPacitance Capacitance
CURRent:AC AC current
CURRent:DC DC current
VOLTage:AC AC voltage
VOLTage:DC DC voltage
VOLTage:DC:RATio DC voltage ratio
[3]
RESistance 2-wire resistance
FRESistance 4-wire resistance
FREQuency Frequency
PERiod Period
TEMPerature:RTD 2-wire temperature
TEMPerature:FRTD 4-wire temperature
DIODe Diode
CONTinuity Continuity
NONe
[2]
Turn off secondary display
Examples FUNC “VOLT:DC” Sets the Meter to volts dc
FUNC1 “VOLT:DC”; FUNC2 “VOLT:AC” Dual function command
Query FUNCtion[1/2]? Query measurement function
Note
FUNC2? will return the measurement mode selected for the secondary
display (assuming its been enabled using the FUNC2 command). FUNC1?
or FUNC? will return the measurement mode for the primary display.
Notes [1] Using FUNC without a 1 or 2 will default to 1 for the primary display.
[2] Valid only when used with FUNC2.
[3] Valid only when used with FUNC or FUNC1.
[SENSe:]<function>
