420 OUTPUT @Hp415x;"*OPC?"
430 ENTER @Hp415x;Complete
440 OUTPUT @Hp415x;":DATA? 'VTH'"
450 ENTER @Hp415x;Vth
Line 410 Execute single measurement.

Line 440 Send :DATA? query command to read the result value of
user function \VTH".
Line 450 Store the result value into Vth variable.
NOTE
Be aware that data variable names, such as user functions and user variables, are
case sensitive .For
example, if you set up user function name VTH on the CHANNEL: USER FUNCTION DEFINITION page,
then to read it, you must use :DATA? 'VTH', not :DATA? 'Vth'.
