[SENSe[1]] subsystem
The Sense 1 Subsystem is used to configure and control the measurement
functions of the Model 2016. A function does not have to be selected before
you program its various configurations. A function can be selected any time
after it has been programmed. Whenever a programmed function is selected,
it assumes the programmed states. Sense 1 Subsystem commands are
summarized in Table 5-7.
:FUNCtion command
:FUNCtion <name>
[:SENSe[1]]:FUNCtion <name> Select measurement function.
Parameters <name> = ‘CURRent:AC’ Select AC Current
‘CURRent[:DC]’ Select DC Current
‘VOLTage:AC’ Select AC Voltage
‘VOLTage[:DC]’ Select DC Voltage
‘RESistance’ Select 2-wire Resistance
‘FRESistance’ Select 4-wire Resistance
‘PERiod’ Select Period
‘FREQuency’ Select Frequency
‘TEMPerature’ Select Temperature
‘DIODe’ Select Diode Testing
‘CONTinuity’ Select Continuity Testing
‘DISTortion’ Select Distortion
Query :FUNCtion? Query currently programmed function.
Description The :FUNCtion command is used to select the measurement function of the
instrument. Note that parameter names are enclosed in single quotes (’).
However, double quotes (“) can be used instead. For example:
:func ‘volt’ = :func “volt”
Each measurement function “remembers” its own unique setup
configuration, such as range, speed, resolution, filter and rel. This eliminates
the need to reprogram setup conditions every time you switch from one
function to another.
