is optimized. When disabled, speed is increased at the expense of accuracy.

first be in the idle state. The Model 2010 can be placed in the idle
state by first disabling continuous initiation
(:INITiate:CONTinuous OFF), and then sending the :ABORt
command. After sending the :STATe command, readings can be
re-started by sending :INITiate:CONTinuous ON or :INITiate.
