390 to 460: This is the main measurement loop. Line 400 contains
two commands. :SOURce:VOLT sets the output level of the source.
*OPC? is used to signal that the preceding command has finished
executing. To make an accurate measurement, the source output
must be allowed to settle. When the output has settled, *OPC? places
