DEFault 0 (All functions)
MINimum Minimum value for specified function
MAXimum Maximum value for specified function
:REFerence? Query programmed reference value
:REFerence? DEFault Query *RST default reference value
:REFerence? MINimum Query lowest allowable reference value
:REFerence? MAXimum Query largest allowable reference value
These commands are used to establish a reference value for the specified function. When Ref-
erence is enabled (see :REFerence:STATe), the result will be the algebraic difference between
the input signal and the reference value:
Reading = Input signal - Reference
From the front panel, reference is called relative (REL). See paragraph 2.6 for more information
on REL.
The :REFerence <n> command is coupled to the :ACQuire command. The last command sent
(:REFerence <n> or :ACQuire) establishes the reference. When a reference is set using the
:REFerence <n> command, the :REFerence? query command returns the programmed value.
Conversely, when a reference is set using the :ACQuire command, the :REFerence? query com-
mand returns the acquired reference value.
